Cisco vWAAS on Cisco ISR-WAAS
This chapter describes how to use Cisco vWAAS on Cisco ISR-WAAS, and contains the following sections:
About Cisco ISR-WAAS
ISR-WAAS is the specific implementation of vWAAS running in a Cisco IOS-XE Software container on a Cisco ISR 4000 Series router (ISR-4321, ISR-4331, ISR-4351, ISR-4431, ISR-4451). In this context, “container” refers to the hypervisor that runs virtualized applications on a Cisco ISR 4000 Series router.
Note
For vWAAS for WAAS 6.4.1b and later, ISR-4461 is also supported.
Table 3-1 shows the default number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk storage and supported ISR platforms for each ISR model.
Note We recommend you use ISR-WAAS-200 with vWAAS for WAAS 6.4.1c and later; this configuration reduces overall ISR-4321 memory by 3%.

Operating Guidelines for ISR-WAAS:
- For vWAAS with WAAS Version 6.2.3c or later, for ISR-4321 with profile ISR-WAAS-200, the ISR-WAAS RAM is increased from 3 GB to 4 GB. For this increase in ISR-WAAS RAM to be implemented, you must complete a new OVA deployment of WAAS version 6.2.3c or later. The increase in ISR-WAAS RAM is not automatically implemented with an upgrade to WAAS Version 6.2.3c or later.
– For ISR-WAAS-200 in ISR-4321 with IOS-XE 16.x, 4 GB of memory is mandatory.
– For ISR-WAAS-200 in ISR-4321 with IOX-XE 3.x, 3 GB of memory is recommended; 4 GB of memory is optional.
Note ISR-4321 with IOS-XE 16.9.x is supported for vWAAS for WAAS Version 6.4.1b and later.
Supported Host Platforms, Software Versions, and Disk Types
