peer
Configures the connection protocol version.
Syntax
[no] peer <ip-address> version [min <version> | max <version>]
Parameters
<ip-address> | In-path or out-of-path IP address (or both) of the SteelHead. |
min <version> | Specifies the minimum protocol version number: 5 or 8. |
max <version> | Specifies the maximum protocol version number: 5 or 8. |
Usage
Use this command only to harmonize connection protocol versions in deployments with a mix of v1.2 and v2.x appliances.
For each v1.2 SteelHead peer, enter the following commands:
sh> peer <ip-address> version min 5
sh> peer <ip-address> version max 5
After all the v1.2 SteelHeads in the network have been upgraded to v2.x SteelHeads, remove the version settings:
sh> no peer <ip-address> version min
sh> no peer <ip-address> version max
If you are unable to discover all v1.2 SteelHeads in the network, configure all v2.1 SteelHeads to use v5 protocol by default with all peers by specifying 0.0.0.0 as the peer address:
sh> peer 0.0.0.0 version min 5
sh> peer 0.0.0.0 version max 5
Note: Version 5 does not support some optimization policy features. Ultimately, you need to upgrade all appliances to v2.1 or later.
The no command option resets the protocol version to the default.
Example
amnesiac (config) # peer 10.0.0.1 version min 5
amnesiac (config) # peer 10.0.0.2 version max 5
