secure-peering fallback-no-enc enable
Enables fallback to no encryption on the inner channel.
Syntax
[no] secure-peering fallback-no-enc enable
Parameters
None
Usage
Specifies that the SteelHead optimizes but does not encrypt the connection when it is unable to negotiate a secure, encrypted inner channel connection with the peer. This is the default setting. Enabling this option requires an optimization service restart.
We strongly recommend enabling this setting on both the client-side and the server-side SteelHeads.
This option applies only to non-SSL traffic.
Use this command to pass through connections that do not have a secure encrypted inner channel connection with the peer. Use caution when disabling this setting, as doing so specifies that you strictly do not want traffic optimized between non-secure SteelHeads. Consequently, configurations with this setting disabled risk the possibility of dropped connections. When this setting is disabled on the server-side SteelHead and All is selected as the traffic type, it will not optimize the connection when a secure channel is unavailable, and might drop it.
Example
amnesiac (config) # secure-peering fallback-no-enc enable
amnesiac (config) # service restart
