subnet side add rule
Adds a rule to the subnet map table.
Syntax
subnet side add rule index <rule-number> network <network-prefix> is {lan | wan}
Parameters
index <rule-number>
Specifies a rule number, start, or end
SteelHeads evaluate rules in numerical order starting with rule 1. If the conditions set in the rule match, then the rule is applied, and the system moves on to the next packet. If the conditions set in the rule do not match, the system consults the next rule. For example, if the conditions of rule 1 do not match, rule 2 is consulted. If rule 2 matches the conditions, it is applied, and no further rules are consulted.
The type of a matching rule determines which action the SteelHead takes on the connection.
network <network-prefix>
Specifies the subnet. Use the format <ip-address>/<subnet mask>.
lan
Specifies that the addresses on the subnet are on the LAN side. In virtual in-path configurations, all traffic is flowing in and out of one physical interface.
wan
Specifies that the addresses on the subnet are on the WAN side. In virtual in-path configurations, all traffic is flowing in and out of one physical interface.
Usage
Subnet side rules are used in a virtual in-path deployment to support Flow Export, to support a client-side SteelHead, or to exempt certain subnets from QoS enforcement or path selection. Subnet side rules let you configure subnets as LAN-side subnets or WAN-side subnets for a virtual in-path SteelHead. The subnet side rules determine whether traffic originated from the LAN or the WAN-side of the SteelHead based on the source subnet. You must configure subnets on each SteelHead in a virtual in-path configuration, as the subnets for each will likely be unique.
For details on subnet side rules, see the SteelHead Management Console User’s Guide.
