topology site uplink interface
Configures the site uplink parameters for the local site.
Syntax
topology site {<site-name> | local | default-site} uplink <uplink-name> network <name> interface <interface-name> bandwidth_up <kbps> bandwidth_down <kbps> [gateway <ip-address>] [gre_tunnel {yes | no}] [probe_dscp <dscp>] [probe_timeout <timeout>] [probe_threshold <threshold>]
Parameters
<site-name>
Site name: for example, data center.
local
Specifies the local site name, which is where the SteelHead is located.
default-site
Specifies the default site, which is the match anything, catch-all site that is used if nothing else matches. This site has a subnet of 0.0.0.0/0. You do not need to add a remote site if you only have one remote site and the default site is suitable. The default site cannot be removed.
<uplink-name>
Uplink name.
network <name>
Specifies the network name.
gateway <ip-address>
Specifies the gateway IP address.
interface <interface-name>
Specifies the interface name. There is one default uplink for each interface.
bandwidth_up <kbps>
Specifies the upload bandwidth in kilobits per second.
bandwidth_down <kbps>
Specifies the download bandwidth in kilobits per second.
gre_tunnel yes
Enables GRE tunneling for this uplink.
gre_tunnel no
Disables GRE tunneling for this uplink.
probe_dscp <dscp>
Specifies the DSCP value (0 to 63) for path monitoring probes used for path selection.
probe_timeout <timeout>
Specifies the time to wait for a probe response, in seconds, before a path-selection probe is considered lost. The default timeout value is 2 seconds.
probe_threshold <threshold>
Specifies the number of path-selection timed-out probes before an up path is considered down or the number of received probes before a down path is considered up. The default is 3 probes.
Usage
An uplink is a physical connection from a site to a network, with its own upstream and downstream bandwidths.
In the local site, you configure the uplink bandwidth for uploading and downloading data and with the IP address of the gateway to the network the uplink connects to. If you do not have the gateway configured, the default gateway of the in-path interface is used.
Example
amnesiac (config) # topology site local uplink inpath0_0 network My_WAN interface inpath0_0 bandwidth_up 1000000 bandwidth_down 1000000 gateway 10.2.1.1 probe_dscp 10 probe_timeout 8 probe_threshold 4
