in-path hw-assist passthrough udp enable
Enables automatic pass-through of all UDP traffic.
Syntax
[no] in-path hw-assist passthrough udp enable
Parameters
None
Usage
This feature functions only on a SteelHead or SteelHead Interceptor equipped with one or more Two-Port SR Multimode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E or Two-Port LR Single Mode Fiber 10 Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E cards.
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 work load on the local SteelHeads because the traffic is immediately sent to the kernel of the host machine or out of the other interface before the system receives it.
Note: For a hardware assist rule to be applied to a specific 10-G 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.
This command requires a service restart.
Example
amnesiac (config) # in-path hw-assist passthrough udp enable
