in-path hw-assist passthrough tcp enable
Enables automatic pass-through of TCP traffic.
Syntax
[no] in-path hw-assist passthrough tcp enable
Parameters
None
Usage
This feature functions only on a SteelHead or SteelHead Interceptor equipped with one or more Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E or Two-Port LR Single Mode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E cards.
Hardware Assist rules can automatically bypass all UDP (User Datagram Protocol) connections. You can also configure rules for bypassing specific TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connections. Automatically bypassing these connections decreases the workload on the local SteelHeads because the traffic is handled directly by the hardware and bypasses the kernel.
For a hardware assist rule to be applied to a specific 10-G bypass card, the corresponding in-path interface must be enabled and have an IP address.
If the system is not equipped with the necessary card, an error message displays.
This command requires a service restart.
Example
amnesiac (config) # in-path hw-assist passthrough tcp enable
