steelhead steel-connect compatibility enable
Enables the SteelConnect compatibility feature.
Syntax
[no] steelhead steel-connect compatibility enable
Parameters
None
Usage
Enable this command on the SteelHead CX running 9.5 to allow SteelConnect gateways running SteelConnect Manager 2.3 to recognize optimized flows from the SteelHead CX appliance. When this feature is enabled and the SteelHead CX discovers a compatible SteelConnect gateway in the network path, the appliances connect automatically.
The SteelHead CX optimizes connections, classifies the traffic, and sends application identification information to the gateway. The gateway applies traffic rules to the optimized flows based on the application ID provided by the SteelHead CX and steers the traffic over the selected path.
By default, this command is disabled on the SteelHead CX and disabled globally for an organization in the SteelConnect Manager. SteelConnect compatibility must be enabled on both appliances for auto-discovery.
See the SteelConnect Manager User Guide for more information about the SteelConnect compatibility feature.
