28 C ONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN A CCELERATOR
Add New Rule cont. Insert Rule At. Select start, end, or a rule number from the drop-down list.
HP EFS WAN Accelerators evaluate rules in numerical order starting with rule 1. If the
conditions set in the rule match, then the rule is applied, and the system moves on to the
next packet. If the conditions set in the rule do not match, the system consults the next
rule. For example, if the conditions of rule 1 do not match, rule 2 is consulted. If rule 2
matches the conditions, it is applied, and no further rules are consulted.
In general, you should list rules 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-discovery. Apply the default rule: optimize all remaining traffic. (The default
auto-discovery rule is listed automatically.)
Add Rule. Specify this option to add the rule to the rules list.
Remove Selected Rules. To remove an entry, click the check box next to the and entry
and click Remove Selected Rules.
Move Rule. Use the Move Rule drop-down list and button to change the order in which
rules are evaluated.
