HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator 3.0.4 installation and configuration guide (AG424-96004, March 2007)
34 2 - INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN ACCELERATOR
Configuring In-Path HP EFS WAN
Accelerators
In a physical in-path deployment the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is physically in the
direct path between clients and servers. The clients and servers continue to see client
and server IP addresses. Physical in-path configurations are suitable for any location
where the total bandwidth is within the limits of the installed HP EFS WAN
Accelerator. For a detailed figure, see “Choosing a Network Deployment” on page 24.
For detailed information about in-path deployments, see the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
Deployment Guide.
Before You
Begin
Before you begin the configuration process, check the duplex and speed settings on the
router and switch that will connect to your HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Make sure the
settings on the router, switch, and the HP EFS WAN Accelerator match. For example,
ensure settings are auto speed and duplex on the LAN and WAN or 100 FULL on the
LAN and WAN. If the settings do not match, optimization might be degraded.

Accelerator command-line interface (CLI) for the first time.
