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
Cisco ISR-WAAS is the specific implementation of vWAAS running in a Cisco IOS-XE software container on a Cisco ISR4400 Series router. “Container” in this context refers to a KVM hypervisor that runs virtualized applications on the Cisco ISR-4400 Series router.
Table 3-1 shows the default number of CPUs, memory capacity, disk storage and supported ISR platforms for each ISR model.

Note
For vWAAS with WAAS Version 6.2.3x or later, ISR-4321 with profile ISR-WAAS-200, 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 6.2.3x or later; the increase in ISR-WAAS RAM is not automatically implemented with an upgrade to WAAS 6.2.3x or later.
