3. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.
Control Description
Add New Rule Type. Select one of the following rule types from the drop-down list:
• Auto-Discovery. Auto-discovery rules automatically find the appliances between this
appliance and the server for which the packet is destined. By default, the appliance
automatically intercepts and optimizes traffic on all IP addresses (0.0.0.0) and ports
(all). Defining in-path rules modifies the default setting.
• Fixed-Target. Use fixed-target rules to specify out-of-path appliances near target
servers. Determine which servers you would like a particular HP EFS WAN
Accelerator to optimize (and, optionally, which ports), and add rules to specify the
network of servers, ports, port labels, and out-of-path HP EFS WAN Accelerator to
use.
If you have an out-of-path configuration with failover support, you specify the master
and backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator in the Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page.
NOTE: In out-of-path deployments, to optimize MAPI Exchange 2003 by destination
port, you must define fixed-target, in-path rules that specify the following ports on the
client-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator: the Microsoft end-point mapper port: 135; the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator port for Exchange traffic: 7830; the HP EFS WAN Accelerator
port for Exchange Directory NSPI traffic: 7840. For detailed information, see
“Optimizing MAPI Exchange in Out-of-Path Deployments” on page 32 .
• Pass-Through. Pass-through rules identify traffic that is passed through the network
unoptimized.
• Discard. Packets for connections that match the rule are dropped silently. The
appliance filters out traffic that matches the discard rules.
• Deny. When packets for connections match the deny rule, the appliance actively tries
to reset the connection.
Source Subnet. Type the IP address for the source subnet in the Source Subnet text box.
Use the following format: 0.0.0.0/0.
Destination Subnet. Type the IP address for the destination subnet in the text box. Use
the following format: 0.0.0.0/0.
Port. Type the destination port number, port label, or all in the text box. For detailed
information on port labels, see
“Creating Port Labels” on page 86 .
Add New Rule 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. Click this button to add the rule to the list of rules for the profile.
Remove Selected Rules. To remove a rule from the Rules list, lick the check box next to
the and entry and click Remove Selected Rules.
Move Rule. Use the Move Rule drop-down list boxes and button to change the order in
which rules are evaluated.
