24 2 - C ONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN A CCELERATOR
‹ 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). 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.
To enable in-path
support 1. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup: Optimization Service - General Settings
page.
Figure 2-1. Setup: Optimization Service - General Settings Page
2. Under In-Path, click Enable In-Path Support to enable optimization on traffic
that is in the direct path of the client, server, and HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
‹ Optionally, click Reset Existing Client Connections on Start Up (kickoff), to
enable optimization on your client connections each time you log on.
Generally, connections are short lived and this setting is not necessary. Set the
kickoff option if you have a very challenging remote environment.
