Creating Port
Labels

You create port labels in the Port Labels page.

Port labels are names given to sets of port numbers. You use port labels to simplify
configuration and reporting tasks you perform with the Management Console. For
example, you can create port labels to define sets of ports for which the same in-path,
load-balancing, or QoS rules apply.

Sync Frequency

Frequency of updates (synchronization) in seconds.

Port

The port on the share.

Sharing

The data volume exported from the origin server to the remote HP EFS WAN
Accelerator.

Synching

Synchronization runs periodically in the background, ensuring that the data on the proxy
file server is synchronized with the origin server. You have the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator refresh the data automatically by setting the frequency, in seconds; or
manually at anytime.

Comments

Comments to help you identify the share.
