2. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.

 

 

 

Control

 

Description

 

 

 

In-Path

 

Enable In-Path Support. Specify this option to enable optimization on traffic that is in

 

 

the direct path of the client, server, and HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

 

 

 

 

 

Reset Existing Client Connections on Startup. Specify this option to enable kickoff. If

 

 

you enable kickoff, connections that exist when the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service is

 

 

started and restarted are disconnected. When the connections are retried they are

 

 

optimized.

 

 

Generally, connections are short lived and kickoff is not necessary. It is suitable for very

 

 

challenging remote environments. For example, in an environment with 128 kbps and 1.5

 

 

seconds of latency, you might want to abort an HTTP download so that your traffic is

 

 

optimized, whereas in a remote branch-office with a T1 and 35 ms round-trip time, you

 

 

would want connections to migrate to optimization gracefully, rather than risk

 

 

interruption with kickoff.

 

 

NOTE: Do not enable kickoff for in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators that use auto-

 

 

discovery or if you do not have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator on the remote side of the

 

 

network.

 

 

 

 

 

Enable L4/PBR/WCCP Support on Interface <interface_name>. Specify this option

 

 

to enable optional, virtual in-path support on the named interface. External traffic

 

 

redirection is supported only on the first in-path interface. The following redirection

 

 

methods are available:

 

 

• Layer-4 Switch. You enable Layer-4 switch support when you have multiple HP EFS

 

 

WAN Accelerators in your network, so that you can manage large bandwidth

 

 

requirements.

 

 

• Policy-Based Routing (PBR). PBR allows you to define policies to route packets

 

 

instead of relying on routing protocols. You enable PBR to redirect traffic that you

 

 

want optimized by an HP EFS WAN Accelerator that is not in the direct physical path

 

 

between the client and server.

 

 

• Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP). If your network design requires you

 

 

to use WCCP, a packet redirection mechanism directs packets to HP EFS WAN

 

 

Accelerators that are not in the direct physical path to ensure that they are optimized.

 

 

For detailed information about configuring Layer-4 switch, PBR, and WCCP

 

 

deployments, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator

 

 

Deployment Guide.

 

 

 

 

 

Enable Optimizations on Interface <interface_name>. Specify this option to enable

 

 

in-path support for additional bypass cards.

 

 

If you have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator that contains multiple two-port or four-port

 

 

bypass cards, the Management Console displays options to enable in-path support for

 

 

these ports. The number of these interface options depends on the number of pairs of

 

 

LAN and WAN ports that you have enabled in your HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

 

 

The interface names for the bypass cards are a combination of the slot number and the

 

 

port pairs (inpath<slot>_<pair>, inpath<slot>_<pair>). For example, if a four-port

 

 

bypass card is located in slot 0 of your appliance, the interface names are: inpath0_0 and

 

 

inpath0_1. Alternatively, if the bypass card is located in slot 1 of your appliance, the

 

 

interface names are: inpath1_0 and inpath1_1. The maximum number of pairs is six,

 

 

which is three four-port bypass cards.

 

 

For detailed information about installing additional bypass cards, see the HP

 

 

StorageWorks Enterprise File Services N4c WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC Installation

 

 

Guide.
