Setting In-Path
Rules
You can set in-path configuration rules in the Setup: Optimization Service - In-Path
Rules page. An in-path rule defines the policies for intercepting traffic for
optimization. You can set the following types of in-path rules:
‹ “To set an in-path, auto-discover rule” on page 30
‹ “To set a fixed-target rule” on page 31
‹ “To set a pass-through rule” on page 33
‹ “To discard in-path connections” on page 35
‹ “To deny in-path connections” on page 36
You can also configure the following advanced options for in-path rules in the Setup:
Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page:
‹ Optimization Policies. For detailed information, see “Setting Optimization
Policies” on page 28
‹ Neural Framing Modes and Heuristics. For detailed information, see “Setting
Neural Framing Mode and Heuristics” on page 28
‹ Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Tagging. For detailed information, see
“Enabling VLAN Tagging” on page 29
Overview of In-
Path Rules By default, all traffic going through the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is optimized. In-
path rules enable you to define optimization policies for intercepting traffic in your
network.
You can define in-path rules that apply to a single port or you can define in-path rules
that apply to a port label. A port label is a name that you assign to a set of ports so that
you can reduce the number of configuration rules in your system. The following port
labels are created by default in your system:
‹ Interactive. Automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for
example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell).
‹ Secure. Automatically pass-through traffic on commonly secure ports (for
example, ssh, https, and smtps).
If you do not want to automatically forward these ports, click Remove Selected Rules
in the Setup: Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page.
For detailed information about how to configure port labels, see “Creating Port
Labels” on page 93 .
