VLAN Tag ID. Select the VLAN identification number from the drop-down list to set

 

the VLAN tag identification number (VLAN ID). All specifies the rule applies to all

 

VLANs; Untagged specifies the rule applies to non-tagged connections.

 

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports VLAN 802.1q. To configure VLAN tagging you

 

perform the following tasks:

 

• You configure in-path rules to apply to all VLANs or to a specific VLAN. By default,

 

rules apply to all VLAN values unless you specify a particular VLAN ID. Pass-through

 

traffic maintains any pre-existing VLAN tagging between the LAN and WAN

 

interfaces.

 

• You set the in-path interfaces, VLAN tag IDs to define the VLAN tag that the HP EFS

 

WAN Accelerator uses to communicate with other HP EFS WAN Accelerator. For

 

detailed information, see “Setting In-Path Interfaces” on page 54.

 

 

 

Optimization Policy. Optionally, if you have selected an Auto-Discoveryor Fixed

 

Target rule, you can configure the following types of optimization policies:

 

Normal. Perform Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression and Scalable Data Referencing

 

(SDR).

 

SDR-Only. Perform SDR; do not perform LZ compression.

 

Compression-Only. Perform LZ compression; do not perform SDR.

 

None. Do not perform SDR or LZ compression.

 

Setting an optimization policy allows you more flexibility in applying optimization

 

techniques. For example, if you have a network that requires 45 Mbps or higher with

 

abundant bandwidth, you do not need to perform LZ compression to obtain maximum

 

optimization of data. Turning off LZ compression also increases throughput on large

 

bandwidth networks.

 

To configure optimization policies for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) data channel,

 

define an in-path rule with the destination port 20 and set its optimization policy. Setting

 

QoS for port 20 on the client-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator effects passive FTP, while

 

setting the QoS for port 20 on the server-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator effects active

 

FTP.

 

To configure optimization policies for the Messaging Application Protocol Interface

 

(MAPI) data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 7830 and set its

 

optimization policy.
