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 compatible NICs. For a list of NICs that support hardware-assist commands, see
Hardware-assist rule commands.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.
For a hardware assist rule to be applied to a specific 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.
