Adding WMS layer to geoserver for cesium

Question

I was asked to set up offline map for Cesium. Thus, I set up Geoserver with Tomcat Apache.. I have heard from various forum on Accessing a WMS layer from Geoserver and adding it in Cesium globe.. But my question is how to add WMS layer? Is it by downloading image map or do I need to draw a map?

The forum which i found for accesing a WMS layer are found below https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/190459/accessing-a-wms-layer-from-geoserver-and-adding-it-in-cesium-globe

This is known as a cascaded WMS, GeoServer treats it as just another raster data store (roughly).

Simply, go to the WMS Datastore (right at the bottom of the stores list) and fill in the GetCapabilities URL and the name of the store. Once the store is created you can publish the layers as with any other store.
