in-path rule fixed-target packet-mode-uni
Adds a fixed-target packet-mode optimization rule.
Syntax
[no] in-path rule fixed-target packet-mode-uni target-addr {<ip-address>} [target-port <port>] [protocol <protocol>] [backup-addr {<ip-address>} [backup-port <port>]] [srcaddr {<ip-address> | all-ip | all-ipv4 | all-ipv6>}] [scrport <port>] [dstaddr {<ip-address> | all-ip | all-ipv4 | all-ipv6>}] [dstport <port>] [optimization {normal | sdr-only | sdr-m | compr-only | none}] [vlan <vlan-tag-id>] [description <description>] [rule-enable {true | false}] [rulenum <rule-number>]
Parameters
target-addr <ip-address>
Specifies the fixed-target appliance address.
For the network address, use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX for IPv4 or X:X:X:X/XXX for IPv6.
target-port <port>
Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
protocol <protocol>
Specifies a protocol to optimize:
• tcp—TCP for TCPv4 and TCPv6 connections.
• udp—UDP for UDPv4 and UDPv6 connections.
• any—Optimizes all traffic.
backup-addr <ip-address>
Specifies a backup appliance IP address for this rule (if any).
For the network address, use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX for IPv4 or X:X:X:X/XXX for IPv6.
backup-port <port>
Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
srcaddr <ip-address>
Specifies the source subnet IP address and netmask. Use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX for IPv4 and X:X:X::X/XXX for IPv6.
srcaddr all-ip
Specifies all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. This is the default.
srcaddr all-ipv4
Specifies all IPv4 addresses.
srcaddr all-ipv6
Specifies all IPv6 addresses.
srcport <port>
Specifies the source port. Packet-mode optimization is unidirectional, and this port is used on the SteelHead to match the source port in return traffic.
For the port, you can specify a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
dstaddr <ip-address>
Specifies the destination subnet IP address and netmask. Use the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/XX for IPv4 and X:X:X::X/XXX for IPv6.
dstaddr all-ip
Specifies all IPv4 and all IPv6 addresses. This is the default.
dstaddr all-ipv4
Specifies all IPv4 addresses.
dstaddr all-ipv6
Specifies all IPv6 addresses.
dstport <port>
Specifies a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
optimization <policy>
Specifies an optimization policy:
• normal—Performs LZ compression and SDR. This is the default optimization policy.
• sdr-only—Turns off LZ compression.
• sdr-m—Performs data reduction entirely in memory, which prevents the SteelHead from reading and writing to and from the disk. Enabling this option can yield high LAN-side throughput because it eliminates all disk latency.
• compr-only—Turns off SDR but perform LZ compression.
• none—Turns off LZ compression and SDR.
vlan <vlan-tag-id>
Specifies the VLAN tag ID (if any). The VLAN identification number is a value with a range from 0 to 4094. Specify 0 to mark the link untagged.
description <description>
Specifies a description to facilitate network administration.
rule-enable true
Enables a fixed-target packet-mode optimization rule.
rule-enable false
Disables a fixed-target packet-mode optimization rule.
rulenum <rule-number>
Specifies the rule number to edit: 1-N or start or end.
Usage
Packet-mode optimization skips the autodiscovery process and uses a specified remote SteelHead as an optimization peer to perform bandwidth optimization on TCPv4, TCPv6, UDPv4, or UDPv6 connections. Packet-mode optimization rules support both physical in-path and master/backup SteelHead configurations.
When you create a fixed-target packet-mode optimization rule, you define the inner channel characteristics using the following controls: source and destination subnet and source destination port or port labels.
You must specify which TCPv4, TCPv6, UDPv4, or UDPv6 connections need optimization, at least one remote target SteelHead, and, optionally, which ports and backup SteelHeads to use. For IPv6 traffic, you must enable IPv6 on base interfaces (IPv6 is enabled by default).
The packet-mode optimization rule does not take effect until packet-mode optimization is enabled. Use the packet-mode enable command to enable packet-mode optimization.
Use the show flows command to display information about packet-mode optimization flows.
