rulenum <rule-number> | Specifies the rule number to edit: 1-N or start or end. |
target-address <ip-address> | Specifies the fixed-target appliance address. For the network address, use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX for IPv4 or X:X:X:X/XXX for IPv6. |
target-port <port> | Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports. |
protocol | Specifies a protocol to optimize: • tcp - Specifies TCP protocol for TCPv4 and TCPv6 connections. • udp - Specifies the UDP protocol for UDPv4 and UDPv6 connections. • any - Optimizes all traffic. |
backup-address <ip-address> | Specifies a backup appliance for this rule (if any). For the network address, use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX for IPv4 or X:X:X:X/XXX for IPv6. |
backup-port <port> | Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports. |
srcaddr <ip-address> | Specifies the source subnet IP address and netmask. Use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX for IPv4 and X:X:X::X/XXX for IPv6. |
srcaddr all-ip | Specifies all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. This is the default. |
srcaddr all-ipv4 | Specifies all IPv4 addresses. |
srcaddr all-ipv6 | Specifies all IPv6 addresses. |
srcport <port> | Specifies the source port. Packet-mode optimization is unidirectional, and this port is used on the SteelHead to match the source port in return traffic. For the port, you can specify a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports. |
dstaddr <ip-address> | Specifies the destination subnet IP address and netmask. Use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX for IPv4 and X:X:X::X/XXX for IPv6. |
dstaddr all-ip | Specifies all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. This is the default. |
dstaddr all-ipv4 | Specifies all IPv4 addresses. |
dstaddr all-ipv6 | Specifies all IPv6 addresses. |
dstport <port> | Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports. |
optimization <policy> | Specifies an optimization policy: • normal - Performs LZ compression and SDR. This is the default optimization policy. • sdr-only - Turns off LZ compression. • sdr-m - Performs data reduction entirely in memory, which prevents the SteelHead from reading and writing to and from the disk. Enabling this option can yield high LAN-side throughput because it eliminates all disk latency. • compr-only - Turns off SDR but perform LZ compression. • none - Turns off LZ compression and SDR. |
vlan <vlan-tag-id> | Specifies the VLAN tag ID (if any). The VLAN identification number is a value with a range from 0 to 4094. Specify 0 to mark the link untagged. |
description <description> | Specifies a description to facilitate network administration. |
