Configuration Mode Commands : Client Accelerator commands : policy id in-path rule edit rulenum fixed-target
  
policy id in-path rule edit rulenum fixed-target
Edits a fixed-target in-path rule on the specified policy.
Syntax
policy id <id> in-path rule edit rulenum <rule-number> fixed-target [target-addr <address>] [target‑port <port>] [dstaddr <subnet>] [dstport <port>] [dst-host <host-label>] [srcaddr <subnet>] [backup-addr <address>] [backup-port <port>] [optimization <policy>] [preoptimization <policy>] | [latency-opt <policy>] [neural-mode <mode>] [description <description>] [rule-enable <true | false>]
Parameters
<id>
Existing policy number on the local Client Accelerator.
<rule-number>
Rule number to edit: 1-N or start or end.
target-addr <address> target-port <port>
Specifies the fixed-target appliance address.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
For the port, you can specify a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
dstaddr <subnet> dstport <port>
Specifies the destination subnet and port.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are supported.
For the port, you can specify a single port (number), a port label, or all to specify all ports.
dst-host <host-label>
Specifies a destination host label for this rule. You configure the host label settings using the host-label command.
A destination IP address and host label cannot be specified in the same rule. A host label can be used instead of a destination IP address.
Enter an empty string, represented by two quotation marks (""), to remove a host label.
srcaddr <subnet>
Specifies the source subnet.
backup-addr <address>
Specifies a backup appliance for this rule (if any).
optimization <policy>
Specifies an optimization policy:
normal—The normal optimization policy is the default. The normal process performs LZ compression and SDR.
sdr-only—Turns off LZ compression.
sdr-m—Performs data reduction entirely in memory, which prevents the Client Accelerator 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.
preoptimization <policy>
Specifies a preoptimization policy:
ssl—Enables SSL preoptimization processing for traffic via SSL secure ports.
oracle-forms—Enables preoptimization processing for the Oracle Forms browser plug-in.
oracle-forms+ssl—Enables preoptimization processing for both the Oracle Forms browser plug-in and SSL encrypted traffic through SSL secure ports on the client-side Client Accelerator.
none—Preoptimization processing is set to none by default. If SSL or Oracle Forms preoptimization processing is turned on and you want to turn it off for a port, specify none.
latency-opt <policy>
Specifies a latency-optimization policy:
citrix—Always use Citrix optimization on connections matching this rule. Citrix optimizations are ICA/CGP over SSL optimizations. For Citrix latency optimization to work, set the preoptimization policy to the preoptimization ssl option.
http—Performs HTTP optimization on connections matching this rule.
normal—Performs HTTP optimization on ports 80, 8080, and (with SSL preoptimization) 443. This is the default setting.
outlook-anywhr—Always use Outlook Anywhere optimization on the connection.
none—Performs latency optimization on connections matching this rule.
neural-mode <mode>
Enables neural framing in the Client Accelerator. Enabling neural framing makes your WAN more efficient by gathering data to select the optimal packet framing boundaries for SDR.
If you specify a neural mode, your network will experience a trade-off between the compression and SDR performance, and the latency added to the connection. For different types of traffic, one algorithm might be better than others.
Specify one of the following modes:
always—Always use the Nagle algorithm. This is the default setting (always wait 6 ms). All data is passed to the codec, which attempts to coalesce consume calls (if needed) to achieve better fingerprinting. A timer (6 ms) backs it up and causes leftover data to be consumed. Neural heuristics are computed in this mode but are not used.
dynamic—Dynamically adjust the Nagle parameters. The Client Accelerator picks the best algorithm to use by learning, which algorithm is best and adapting if the traffic characteristic changes.
never—Never use the Nagle algorithm. All the data is immediately encoded without waiting for timers to fire or application buffers to fill past a specified threshold. Neural heuristics are computed in this mode but are not used.
tcphints—Base setting on TCP hints. If data is received from a partial frame packet or a packet with the TCP PUSH flag set, the encoder encodes the data instead of immediately coalescing it. Neural heuristics are computed in this mode but are not used.
To configure neural framing for an FTP data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 20 and set its optimization policy. To configure neural framing for a MAPI connection, define an in-path rule with the destination port 7830 and set its optimization policy.
description <description>
Specifies a description of the rule.
rule-enable [true | false]
Enables (true) or disables (false) an in-path rule.
Usage
The in-path rule fixed-target command adds a fixed-target in-path rule.
When you edit a rule of the same type (for example, in-path rule fixed-target to in-path rule edit fixed-target), the parameters you specify in the edit command are applied and the other parameters remain the same as the default value or the previously configured value of the in-path rule fixed-target command. However, if you change the rule type (for example, in-path rule fixed-target to in-path rule edit auto-discover), the parameters you specify in the edit command are applied and the rest of the parameters are reset to the default of the new rule type (in this example, resets to in-path auto-discover rules).
For detailed information about in-path rules, see the SteelHead User Guide.
