An exclamation point (!) appears in the left menu to remind you to save your configuration. To write your configuration settings to memory, see “Writing Configurations to Memory” on page 120.
Physical In-Path. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is physically in the direct path between the client and server. 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. Virtual In-Path. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is virtually in the path between the client and server.
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 a HP EFS WAN Accelerator that is not in the direct physical path between the client and server. Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP).
NOTE: If you have multiple WAN ports, Layer 4, PBR, and WCCP is only supported on the first in-path interface. Optionally, click Enable Optimizations on Interface inpath0_0 to enable inpath support for additional bypass cards.

For a list of interactive and secure ports that are automatically forwarded, see Appendix A, “HP EFS WAN Accelerator Ports.” Rule Type Description Auto-Discover Auto-discover rules automatically find the HP EFS WAN Accelerators between this HP EFS WAN Accelerator and the server for which the packet is destined. When HP EFS WAN Accelerators are found, the HP EFS WAN Accelerators work together to optimize the connection.
It is important to plan your in-path rules so that your network conditions are met. Typically, most rules are listed in the following order: 1. Pass-through. List the exceptions to optimization, first. 2. Fixed-target. List any fixed-targets for optimization, next. 3. Auto-discover. Apply the default rule: optimize all remaining traffic. (The default auto-discover rule is listed automatically.
To enable neural framing, select a neural framing mode for the in-path rule. Description Never Never uses the Nagle algorithm. All the data is immediately encoded without waiting for timers to fire or application buffers to fill past a specified threshold. Neural heuristics are computed in this mode but are not used. Always Always uses the Nagle algorithm. All data is passed to the codec which attempts to coalesce consume calls (if needed) to achieve better fingerprinting.
1. 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 Tag Identification Number (ID).

Local Mode. Provides read-write access to a given file share hosted on the branch-office or remote HP EFS WAN Accelerator. CIFS clients mapping a Local mode file share have read-write access to that share. Changes made to the share are sent back and update the origin server. For any remote path, there can exist only one local share on a HP EFS WAN Accelerator, this prevents conflicting data from being written to the same path.
Pre-Identification of PFS files. PFS requires that files accessed over the WAN must be identified in advance on the remote HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If the data set accessed by the remote users is larger than the specified capacity of your model or if it cannot be identified in advance, then you should have end-users access the origin server directly through the HP EFS WAN Accelerator without PFS (global mode).

GLOSSARY Glossary ARP. Address Resolution Protocol. An IP protocol used to obtain a node's physical address. Bandwidth. The upper limit on the amount of data, typically in kilobits per second (kbps), that can pass through a network connection. Greater bandwidth indicates faster data transfer capability. Bit. A Binary digit. The smallest unit of information handled by a computer; either 1 or 0 in the binary number system. Blade.
FDDI. Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A set of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) protocols for sending digital data over fiber optic cable. FDDI networks are token-passing networks, and support data rates of up to 100 Mbps (100 million bits) per second. FDDI networks are typically used as backbones for WideArea Networks (WANs). Filer. An appliance that attaches to a computer network and is used for data storage. Gateway.
Internet. The collection of networks tied together to provide a global network that use the TCP/IP suite of protocols. IP. Internet protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack that enables a connectionless internetwork service. IPsec. Internet Protocol Security Protocol. A set of protocols to support secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. IPsec has been deployed widely to implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IPsec supports two encryption modes: Transport and Tunnel.
state algorithms to send routing information to all nodes in an internetwork by calculating the shortest path to each node based on a topography of the Internet constructed by each node. Each router sends that portion of the routing table (keeps track of routes to particular network destinations) that describes the state of its own links. It also sends the complete routing structure (topography). Packet. A unit of information transmitted, as a whole, from one device to another on a network. Probe.
