Removing or Replacing a WAVE Appliance

To remove a WAVE appliance from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords and
network cables, and physically remove the chassis from the rack.
The WAVE appliance is in constant communication with the router on your network. When the router
notices that the WAVE appliance is no longer responding to it, the router stops sending requests to the
WAVE appliance. This action is transparent to users. If other WAVE appliances are attached to the router,
the router continues sending requests to the other WAVE appliances.
When you remove a WAVE appliance, the pages that were cached on that appliance are no longer
available to the router or other WAVE appliances. You might see an increase in outgoing web traffic that
might have otherwise been fulfilled by the WAVE appliance that you are removing. However, after a
time, the router and other WAVE appliances redistribute the load of web traffic.
