HP Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator manual Setting Peering Rules

ControlDescription

Add New Entry Collector IP. Specify the IP address for the NetFlow collector.

Collector Port. Specify the port the NetFlow collector is listening on. The default value

is 2055.

Capture. Select Optimized, Passthrough, or All from the drop-down list. Specifies whether optimized, pass through, or all traffic is exported to the NetFlow collector. The default value is Optimized.

Export Interface. Select aux or primary from the drop-down list. NetFlow records sent from the HP EFS WAN Accelerator will appear to be sent from the IP address of the selected interface.

Show LAN Address. Specify this option if the TCP IP addresses and ports reported for optimized flows should contain the original client and server IP addresses and not those of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The default is to show the IP addresses of the original client and server without the IP address of the HP EFS WAN Accelerators.

Capture Interface. Select from the drop-down list the interface on which NetFlow should track flows.

Additional Interface. Click the Additional interface to display an additional Capture

Interface drop-down list.

Add Collector. Click Add Collector to add the collector to the Collector list.

Remove Selected Entries. To remove an entry, click the check box next to the name and click Remove Selected Peers.

Setting Peering Rules

Enabling Peering Rules for Serial Clustering

You set peering relationships among HP EFS WAN Accelerators in the Advanced Networking - Peering Rules page. Serial clusters are supported only on Series 5000s.

You can configure peering rules that apply to a single port or you can configure peering rules that apply to a port label. A port label is a label that you assign to a set of ports so that you can reduce the number of configuration rules in your system. For detailed information about how to configure port labels, see “Creating Port Labels” on page 113.

You can provide increased optimization by deploying several HP EFS WAN Accelerators back-to-back in an in-path configuration to create a serial cluster. For detailed information, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.

Appliances in a cluster process the peering rules you specify in a spill-overfashion. When the maximum number of TCP connections for an HP EFS WAN Accelerator is reached, that appliance stops intercepting new connections and passes them on to the next HP EFS WAN Accelerator in the cluster (as defined by the peer rule that you set).

In serial cluster deployments:

‹The peering rules table is a ordered list of rules and the first rule that matches the rule is applied.

‹To avoid interceptions on inner connections created by other appliances in the same cluster, in-path rules are specified to pass-through connections originating from those appliances.
