Usage
The Discovery Agent is a software package that you install on the client or server in the optimized Riverbed cloud.
When a client SteelHead connects to a server in the cloud, the Discovery Agent redirects any auto-discovery probe request to a SteelHead-c in its optimization group. Then, the client SteelHead discovers and starts peering and optimizing with the SteelHead-c. After the auto-discovery process completes, the connection is terminated locally on the SteelHead without going over the WAN.
When a client in the cloud connects to a server, the Discovery Agent redirects any TCP connection to a SteelHead-c in its optimization group. The SteelHead-c sends an auto-discovery probe, discovers the remote SteelHead, and starts peering and optimizing with it.
Configure Discovery Agent settings before you enable discovery.
The Discovery Agent provides auto-discovery, transparency, failure detection, and load balancing. For details, see the SteelHead Cloud Services User’s Guide.
The no command option disables the Discovery Agent on the SteelHead-c.
