Description

General Settings

Enable Asymmetric Routing Detection. Specify this option to detect asymmetric routes
in your network.

Enable Asymmetric Routing Caching. Specify this option to enable the asymmetric
routing cache in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If asymmetric routing is detected, the
pair of IP addresses, defined by the client and server addresses of this connection, is
cached on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Further connections between these hosts are
not optimized until that particular asymmetric routing cache entry times out.

Detecting and caching asymmetric routes does not optimize these packets. If you want to
optimize asymmetric routed packets you must make sure that packets going to the WAN
always go through an HP EFS WAN Accelerator either by using a multi-port HP EFS
WAN Accelerator, connection forwarding, or using external ways to redirect packets,
such as WCCP or PBR.

For detailed information, see

“Enabling Connection Forwarding” on page 68

or the HP

StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.
