Enabling In-

You can modify general in-path and out-of-path interface settings in the Optimization

Service - General Settings Page.

NOTE: You were prompted to enable in-path or out-of-path support when you completed the installation wizard. This section describes how you can modify these settings.

The following types of deployments are available to you:

‹ Physical In-Path. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is physically in the direct path between the client and server. The clients and servers continue to see client and server IP addresses. Physical in-path configurations are suitable for any location where the total bandwidth is within the limits of the installed HP EFS WAN

Accelerator.

‹

‹

Virtual In-Path. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is virtually in the path between the client and server. This differs from a physical in-path in that a packet redirection mechanism is used to direct packets to HP EFS WAN Accelerators that are not in the physical path. Redirection mechanisms include Web Cache

Communication Protocol (WCCP), Layer 4 (L4) switches, and Policy-Based

Routing (PBR). In this configuration, clients and servers continue to see client and server IP addresses.

Out-of-Path. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is not in the direct path between the client and the server. Servers see the IP address of the server-side HP EFS WAN

Accelerator rather than the client IP address, which might impact security policies. An out-of-path configuration is suitable for data center locations where physically in-path or virtually in-path configurations are not possible.

To enable in-path or out-of-path support

For detailed information about in-path and out-of-path deployments, see the HP

StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.

If you have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator that contains multiple two-port or four-port bypass cards, the Management Console displays options to enable in-path support for these ports. The number of these interface options depends on the number of pairs of

Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) ports that you have enabled in your HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

2. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.

Description

Enable In-Path Support. Specify this option to enable optimization on traffic that is in the direct path of the client, server, and HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

Reset Existing Client Connections on Startup. Specify this option to enable kickoff. If you enable kickoff, connections that exist when the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service is started and restarted are disconnected. When the connections are retried they are optimized.

Generally, connections are short lived and kickoff is not necessary. It is suitable for very challenging remote environments. For example, in an environment with 128 kbps and 1.5 seconds of latency, you might want to abort an HTTP download so that your traffic is optimized, whereas in a remote branch-office with a T1 and 35 ms round-trip time, you would want connections to migrate to optimization gracefully, rather than risk interruption with kickoff.

NOTE: Do not enable kickoff for in-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators that use autodiscovery or if you do not have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator on the remote side of the network.

Enable L4/PBR/WCCP Support on Interface <interface_name>. Specify this option to enable optional, virtual in-path support on the named interface. External traffic redirection is supported only on the first in-path interface. The following redirection methods are available:

Layer-4 Switch. You enable Layer-4 switch support when you have multiple HP EFS

WAN Accelerators in your network, so that you can manage large bandwidth requirements.

Policy-Based Routing (PBR). PBR allows you to define policies to route packets instead of relying on routing protocols. You enable PBR to redirect traffic that you want optimized by an HP EFS WAN Accelerator that is not in the direct physical path between the client and server.

Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP). If your network design requires you to use WCCP, a packet redirection mechanism directs packets to HP EFS WAN

Accelerators that are not in the direct physical path to ensure that they are optimized.

For detailed information about configuring Layer-4 switch, PBR, and WCCP deployments, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator

Deployment Guide.

Enable Optimizations on Interface <interface_name>. Specify this option to enable in-path support for additional bypass cards.

If you have an HP EFS WAN Accelerator that contains multiple two-port or four-port bypass cards, the Management Console displays options to enable in-path support for these ports. The number of these interface options depends on the number of pairs of

LAN and WAN ports that you have enabled in your HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

The interface names for the bypass cards are a combination of the slot number and the port pairs (inpath<slot>_<pair>, inpath<slot>_<pair>). For example, if a four-port bypass card is located in slot 0 of your appliance, the interface names are: inpath0_0 and

inpath0_1. Alternatively, if the bypass card is located in slot 1 of your appliance, the interface names are: inpath1_0 and inpath1_1. The maximum number of pairs is six, which is three four-port bypass cards.

Enable Out-of-Path Support. Specify this option to enable out-of-path support. You enable out-of-path support on server-side HP EFS WAN Accelerators only.

NOTE: If you set up an out-of-path configuration with failover support, you must set fixed target rules that specify the master and backup HP EFS WAN Accelerators. For detailed information, see

Per Source IP Connection Limit. Check this box to limit half-opened connections on a source IP address initiating connections (that is, the client machine). Set this feature to block a source IP address that is opening multiple connections to invalid hosts or ports simultaneously (for example, a virus or a port scanner). This feature does not prevent a source IP address from connecting to valid hosts at a normal rate. Thus a source IP address could have more established connections than the limit. The default value is

4096.

The appliance counts the number of half-opened connections for a source IP address

(connections that check if a server connection can be established before accepting the client connection). If the count is above the limit, new connections from the source IP address are passed through unoptimized.

NOTE: If you have a client connecting to valid hosts or ports at a very high rate, some of its connections might be passed through even though all the connections are valid.

3. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration. (Apply your settings to test a new configuration before saving them permanently.)

4. Click Save to save your settings permanently or click Reset to return the settings to their previous values.

You set in-path configuration rules in the Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page.

An in-path rule defines the policies for intercepting traffic on specified ports for optimization.

You can create rules that apply to a single port or to a port label. A port label is a name that you assign to a set of ports so that you can reduce the number of configuration rules in your system. The following port labels are created by default in your system:

‹

‹

‹

Interactive. Automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell).

Secure. Automatically pass-through traffic on commonly secure ports (for example, ssh, https, and smtps).

RBT-Proto. Specifies well-known ports used by the system: 7800-7801 (in-path),

7810 (out-of-path), 7820 (failover), 7850 (connection forwarding), 7860

(Interceptor appliance).

If you do not want to automatically forward these ports, click Remove Selected Rules in the Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page.

Add New Rule

3. Use the controls to complete the configuration, as described in the following table.

Description

Type. Select one of the following rule types from the drop-down list:

Auto-Discovery. Auto-discovery is the process by which the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator automatically intercepts and optimizes traffic on all Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and ports. By default, auto-discovery is applied to all IP addresses and the ports which are not secure or interactive. Defining in-path rules modifies this default setting.

Fixed-Target. Use fixed-target rules to specify out-of-path HP EFS WAN Accelerators near the target server that you want to optimize. Determine which servers you would like a particular HP EFS WAN Accelerator to optimize (and, optionally, which ports), and add rules to specify the network of servers, ports, port labels, and out-of-path HP

EFS WAN Accelerators to use.

Pass-Through. Pass-through rules identify traffic that is passed through the network unoptimized. You define pass-through rules to exclude subnets from optimization.

Traffic is also passed through when the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is in bypass mode.

(Pass through might be occur because of in-path rules or because the connection was established before the HP EFS WAN Accelerator was put in place or before the HP

EFS WAN Accelerator service was enabled.)

Discard. Packets for the connection that match the rule are dropped silently. The HP

EFS WAN Accelerator filters out traffic that matches the discard rules. This process is similar to how routers and firewalls drop disallowed packets: the connection-initiating device has no knowledge of the fact that its packets were dropped until the connection times out.

Deny. When packets for connections match the deny rule, the appliance actively tries to reset the connection. Deny tells the HP EFS WAN Accelerator to actively try to reset a TCP connection being attempted. Using an active reset process, rather than a silent discard allows the connection initiator to know that its connection is disallowed.

If you have an out-of-path configuration with failover support, you specify the master and backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator in the Optimization Service - In-Path Rules page.

NOTE: In out-of-path deployments, to optimize MAPI Exchange 2003 by destination port, you must define fixed-target, in-path rules that specify the following ports on the client-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator: the Microsoft end-point mapper port: 135; the HP

EFS WAN Accelerator port for Exchange traffic: 7830; the HP EFS WAN Accelerator port for Exchange Directory Name Service Provider Interface (NSPI) traffic: 7840. For detailed information, see

Description

Insert Rule At. Select start, end, or a rule number from the drop-down list.

HP EFS WAN Accelerators evaluate rules in numerical order starting with rule 1. If the conditions set in the rule match, then the rule is applied, and the system moves on to the next packet. If the conditions set in the rule do not match, the system consults the next rule. For example, if the conditions of rule 1 do not match, rule 2 is consulted. If rule 2 matches the conditions, it is applied, and no further rules are consulted.

In general, you should list rules in the following order:

1. Pass-through. List the exceptions to optimization, first.

2. Fixed-target. List any fixed-targets for optimization, next.

3. Auto-discovery. Apply the default rule: optimize all remaining traffic. (The default auto-discovery rule is listed automatically.)

Description

VLAN Tag ID. Select the VLAN identification number from the drop-down list to set the VLAN tag identification number (VLAN ID). All specifies the rule applies to all

VLANs; Untagged specifies the rule applies to non-tagged connections.

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator supports VLAN 802.1q. To configure VLAN tagging you perform the following tasks:

• You configure in-path rules to apply to all VLANs or to a specific VLAN. By default, rules apply to all VLAN values unless you specify a particular VLAN ID. Pass-through traffic maintains any pre-existing VLAN tagging between the LAN and WAN interfaces.

• You set the in-path interfaces, VLAN tag IDs to define the VLAN tag that the HP EFS

WAN Accelerator uses to communicate with other HP EFS WAN Accelerator. For

detailed information, see “Setting In-Path Interfaces” on page 54

.

Optimization Policy. Optionally, if you have selected an Auto-Discovery or Fixed

Target rule, you can configure the following types of optimization policies:

Normal. Perform Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compression and Scalable Data Referencing

(SDR).

SDR-Only. Perform SDR; do not perform LZ compression.

Compression-Only. Perform LZ compression; do not perform SDR.

None. Do not perform SDR or LZ compression.

Setting an optimization policy allows you more flexibility in applying optimization techniques. For example, if you have a network that requires 45 Mbps or higher with abundant bandwidth, you do not need to perform LZ compression to obtain maximum optimization of data. Turning off LZ compression also increases throughput on large bandwidth networks.

To configure optimization policies for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 20 and set its optimization policy. Setting

QoS for port 20 on the client-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator effects passive FTP, while setting the QoS for port 20 on the server-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator effects active

FTP.

To configure optimization policies for the Messaging Application Protocol Interface

(MAPI) data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 7830 and set its optimization policy.

Descriptions

Description

Neural Framing. Optionally, if you have selected Auto-Discovery or Fixed Target, you can select a neural framing mode for the in-path rule. Neural framing enables the appliance to select the optimal packet framing boundaries for SDR. Neural framing creates a set of heuristics to intelligently determine the optimal moment to flush TCP buffers. The appliance continuously evaluates these heuristics and uses the optimal heuristic to maximize the amount of buffered data transmitted in each flush, while minimizing the amount of idle time that the data sits in the buffer. You can specify the following neural framing settings:

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.

Always. Always use the Nagle algorithm. All data is passed to the codec which attempts to coalesce consume calls (if needed) to achieve better fingerprinting. A timer

(6 ms) backs up the codec and causes leftover data to be consumed. Neural heuristics are computed in this mode but are not used.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Hints. This is the default setting which is based on the 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.

Dynamic. Dynamically adjust the Nagle parameters. In this option, the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator software discerns the optimum algorithm for a particular type of traffic and switches to the best algorithm based on traffic characteristic changes.

For different types of traffic, one algorithm may be better than others. The considerations include: latency added to the connection, compression, and SDR performance.

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 data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 7830 and set its optimization policy.

Description

Enable Latency Optimization. Latency optimization is enabled by default. Only uncheck this box if you want disable Latency optimization. Typically, you disable latency optimization to troubleshoot problems with the system.

Disable Write Optimization. Specify this option to disable write optimization.

Disable write optimization only if you have applications that assume and require writethrough in the network. If you disable write optimization, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator still provides optimization for CIFS reads and for other protocols, but you might experience a slight decrease in overall optimization.

Most applications operate safely with write optimization because CIFS allows you to explicitly specify write-through on each write operation. However, if you have an application that does not support explicit write-through operations, you must disable it in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

If you do not disable write-through, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator acknowledges writes before they are fully committed to disk, to speed up write operation. The HP EFS WAN

Accelerator does not acknowledge the file close until the file is safely written.

Optimize Connections with Security Signatures (that do not require signing).

Specify this option to disable Windows Server Message Block (SMB) signing.

The Secure-CIFS feature enables you to automatically disable Windows Server Message

Block (SMB) signing. SMB signing prevents the appliance from applying full optimization on CIFS connections and significantly reduces the performance gain from an HP EFS WAN Accelerator deployment. Because many enterprises already take additional security precautions (such as firewalls, internal-only reachable servers, and so forth), SMB signing adds little additional security, at a significant performance cost

(even without appliances).

Before you enable Secure-CIFS, you must consider the following factors:

• If the client-side machine has Required signing, enabling Secure-CIFS prevents the client from connecting to the server.

• If the server-side machine has Required signing, the client and server connect but you cannot perform full latency optimization with the appliance. Domain controllers default to Required.

For detailed information about SMB signing and the performance cost associated with it, see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Installation and

Configuration Guide.

Enable Dynamic Write Throttling. Enables CIFS dynamic throttling mechanism which replaces the current static buffer scheme. If you enable CIFS dynamic throttling, it is activated only when there are sub-optimal conditions on the server side causing a backlog of writes messages; it does not have a negative effect under normal network conditions.

Description

Enable Overlapping Open Optimization. This option is enabled by default. To prevent any compromise to data integrity, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator only optimizes data to which exclusive access is available (in other words, when locks are granted). When an oplock is not available the HP EFS WAN Accelerator does not perform application-level latency optimizations but still performs Scalable Data Referencing (SDR) and compression on the data as well as TCP optimizations. If you disable this feature, the HP

EFS WAN Accelerator will still increase WAN performance, but not as effectively.

Enabling this feature on applications that perform multiple opens of the same file to complete an operation will result in a performance improvement (for example, Computer

Aided Design (CAD) applications):

Optimize the Following Extensions. Specify a list of extensions you want to optimize using overlapping opens. The default values are: doc, pdf, ppt, sldasm, slddrw,

Do Not Optimize the Following Extensions. Specify a list of extension you do not want to optimize using overlapping opens. The default values are: ldb, mdb.

NOTE: If a remote user opens a file which is optimized using the overlapping opens feature and a second user opens the same file they might receive an error if the file fails to go through a v3.x HP EFS WAN Accelerator or if it does not go through an HP EFS

WAN Accelerator (for example, certain applications that are sent over the LAN). If this occurs, you should disable overlapping opens for those applications.

Enabling

HSTCP Protocol

Options

Task

Enable HSTCP support.

Increase the WAN buffers.

Increase the LAN buffers.

You enable the High Speed Transmission Control Protocol (HSTCP) in the

Optimization Service - Protocol: HSTCP page.

HSTCP provides acceleration and high throughput for high bandwidth networks where the WAN pipe is large but latency is high. HSTCP is activated for all connections that have a Bandwidth-Delay Product (BDP) larger than 100 packets. HSTCP is available only on the Series 5000.

To configure HSTCP you must perform the following tasks.

Description

For detailed information, see “To enable HSTCP protocol support” on page 43 .

Increase the WAN buffers to 2 Bandwidth Delay Product (BDP) or 10 MB. For detailed information, see

“To enable HSTCP protocol support” on page 43 .

You can calculate the BDP WAN buffer size. For example, for a link of 155

Mbps and 100 ms round-trip delay, the WAN buffers should be set to:

2 * 155 Mbps * 100 ms = 3875000 bytes

Increase the LAN buffers to 1 MB. For detailed information, see “To enable

HSTCP protocol support” on page 43 .

42 C ONFIGURING THE HP EFS WAN A CCELERATOR

Task

For detailed information, see “Enabling In-Path and Out-of-Path Support” on page 22

.

For detailed information about optimization policies if your WAN link capacity

is 100 Mbps, see “Setting In-Path Rules” on page 25 .

With SDR enabled your throughput will bottleneck between 100 and 150

Mbps, which cancels out the benefit of HSTCP. If you have an Optical Carrier-

3 line or faster, turning off SDR makes sense and allows HSTCP to reach its full potential. For a 2 Mbps link, regardless of the amount of latency, it is better to keep SDR enabled, because the HSTCP mechanism is typically not triggered until you reach beyond 100 Mbps of WAN throughput.

You configure connection pooling in the Optimization Service - Connection Pooling page.

Connection pooling enhances network performance by reusing active connections instead of creating a new connection for every request. A connection pool manager maintains a pool of open connections. When a new connection request comes in, the pool manager checks if the pool contains unused connections and returns one if available. If all connections currently in the pool are busy and the maximum pool size has not been reached, the new connection is created and added to the pool. When the pool reaches its maximum size all new connection requests are queued up until a connection in the pool becomes available or the connection attempt times out.

Connection pooling is useful for protocols which open a large number of short lived connections, such as HTTP.

Enabling this feature is optional.

Speed and Duplex

Tips

If your network routers do not automatically negotiate the speed and duplex, you must manually set the speed and duplex for the in-path interface (that is, the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator).

Speed and duplex mismatches can easily occur in a network. For example, if one end of the link is set at half or full-duplex and the other end of the link is configured to auto negotiate (auto), the link defaults to half-duplex, regardless of the duplex setting on the non-auto-negotiated end. This duplex mismatch passes traffic, but it causes interface errors and results in degraded optimization.

The following are general guidelines to avoid speed and duplex mismatches when configuring the HP EFS WAN Accelerator:

To set the in-path interface

‹

‹

‹

Routers are often configured with fixed speed and duplex settings. Check your router configuration and set it to match the HP EFS WAN Accelerator WAN and

LAN settings. Make sure your switch has the correct setting.

After you finish configuring the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, check for speed and duplex error messages (crc or frame errors) in the Logging, View System Log page of the Management Console. For detailed information about viewing HP

EFS WAN Accelerator logs, see

“Viewing HP EFS WAN Accelerator Logs” on page 201 .

If there is a serious problem with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and it goes into bypass mode (that is, it automatically continues to pass traffic through your network), a speed and duplex mismatch might occur when you reboot the HP EFS

WAN Accelerator. To avoid a speed and duplex mismatch, configure your LAN external pair to match the WAN external pair. For example, auto on the LAN and

WAN and fixed to 100 FULL on the LAN and WAN.

You enable asymmetric route auto-detection in the Advanced Networking -

Asymmetric Routing page. Asymmetric route auto-detection detects and reports asymmetric routing conditions and caches this information to avoid losing connectivity between a client and a server.

When HP EFS WAN Accelerators are deployed in a network, all TCP traffic must flow through the same HP EFS WAN Accelerators in the forward and reverse direction. If traffic flows through an HP EFS WAN Accelerator in one direction and not the other, then TCP clients are unable to make connections to TCP servers. When deploying HP

EFS WAN Accelerators into redundant networks, there is a possibility of traffic taking different forward and return paths so that traffic in one direction goes through HP EFS

WAN Accelerators but traffic in the reverse direction does not.

If asymmetric routing is detected, the pair of IP addresses, defined by the client and server addresses of this connection, is cached on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

Further connections between these hosts are not optimized until that particular asymmetric routing cache entry times out.

Detecting and caching asymmetric routes does not optimize these packets. If you want to optimize asymmetric routed packets you must make sure that packets going to the

WAN always go through an HP EFS WAN Accelerator either by using a multi-port HP

EFS WAN Accelerator, connection forwarding, or using external ways to redirect packets, such as WCCP or PBR.

You enable connection forwarding in a network configuration with multiple paths from the server in the Advanced Networking - Connection Forwarding page.

You enable connection forwarding only in asymmetric networks; that is, in networks in which a client request traverses a different network path than the server response.The default port for connection forwarding is 7850.

To optimize connections in asymmetric networks, packets traveling in both directions must pass through the same client-side and server-side HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If you have one path from the client to the server and a different path from the server to the client, you need to enable in-path connection forwarding and configure the HP EFS

WAN Accelerators communicate with each other. These HP EFS WAN Accelerators are called neighbors and exchange connection information to redirect packets to each other.

Figure 2-25. Asymmetric Network

68

Neighbors can be placed in the same physical site or in different sites but the latency between them should be small because the packets travelling between them are not optimized.

IMPORTANT: When you define a neighbor, you specify the HP EFS WAN Accelerator in-path

IP address, not the primary IP address.

If there are more than two possible paths, additional HP EFS WAN Accelerators must be installed on each path and configured as neighbors. Neighbors are notified in parallel so that the delay introduced at connection set up is equal to the time it takes to get an acknowledgement from the furthest neighbor.

Enabling Failover and Data Store

Synchronization

You enable failover and automatic data store synchronization support in the Advanced

Networking - Failover Settings page.

Failover support ensures continued optimization if there is a failure with one of the HP

EFS WAN Accelerators. If the master HP EFS WAN Accelerator fails, the traffic is automatically processed by the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

Automatic data store synchronization replicates the data store from an active HP EFS

WAN Accelerator to a passive HP EFS WAN Accelerator without disrupting operations. Data store synchronization ensures that a warm data store exists on the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator. With a warm data store, the backup HP EFS WAN

Accelerator can perform as optimally as its master when it is activated; that is, it performs as if it has seen the data before and only sends new segments across the

WAN.

NOTE: Data is replicated only from the master HP EFS WAN Accelerator to the backup; not vice versa.

NOTE: All operations occur in the background and do not disrupt operations on any of the systems.

Enable Automated Online Datastore Synchronization. Specify this option to enable automated data store synchronization. Data store synchronization ensures that each data store in your network has warm data for maximum optimization. All operations occur in the background and do not disrupt operations on any of the systems.

There are the following phases in synchronization:

Catchup. Copies data that is already on the master to the backup HP EFS WAN

Accelerator. This process stops when all the old data from the master is copied to the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

Keepup. Runs continuously copying new data that the master appliance encounters to the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

IMPORTANT: The HP EFS WAN Accelerators must be the same model; models running different versions of the software will not synchronize (for example v2.x to 3.x).

Synchronization does not guarantee that all data objects are replicated—synchronization runs in the background, if the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is under load, all data may not be replicated.

NOTE: If you are setting up automated data store synchronization for the first time, the

HP EFS WAN Accelerator service is halted on the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

You must restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service on backup HP EFS WAN

Appliances in a cluster process the peering rules you specify in a spill-over fashion.

When the maximum number of TCP connections for an HP EFS WAN Accelerator is reached, that appliance stops intercepting new connections and passes them on to the next HP EFS WAN Accelerator in the cluster (as defined by the peer rule that you set).

In serial cluster deployments:

‹ The peering rules table is a ordered list of rules and the first rule that matches the rule is applied.

‹ To avoid interceptions on inner connections created by other appliances in the same cluster, in-path rules are specified to pass-through connections originating from those appliances.

You enable Quality of Service (QoS) in the Advanced Networking - QoS Classification page.

You can configure QoS on HP EFS WAN Accelerators to control the prioritization of different types of network traffic and to ensure that HP EFS WAN Accelerators give certain network traffic (for instance, voice over IP) higher priority than other network traffic.

HP S TORAGE W ORKS EFS WAN A CCELERATOR M ANAGEMENT C ONSOLE U SER G UIDE 81

To enable QoS classification

QoS allows you to specify priorities for various classes of traffic and properly distributes excess bandwidth among classes. The HP EFS WAN Accelerator allows you to decouple priority (in terms of delay) from the bandwidth allocation. This provides the flexibility needed to support varying degrees of priority and bandwidth traffic patterns, such as high-priority, low-bandwidth traffic patterns (for example,

Telnet). Many QoS schemes use the term priority to specify how to control the excessive bandwidth among different classes. In the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, priority actually refers to traffic delays and excessive bandwidth is shared, proportional to the minimum bandwidth guaranteed for a specific class.

Enabling this feature is optional.

This is the bottleneck WAN bandwidth not the interface speed out of the WAN interface into the router or switch. For example, if your HP EFS WAN Accelerator connects to a router with a 100 Mbps link, do not specify this value—specify the actual WAN bandwidth (for example, T1, T3).

IMPORTANT: Different WAN interfaces can have different WAN bandwidths; this value must be correctly entered for QoS to function correctly.

IMPORTANT: The percentage of excess bandwidth give to a class is relative to the percentage of minimum bandwidth allocated to the class.

Apply. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration.

Class Name. Specify a name for the QoS class.

TIP: You must enable QoS classification and set the bandwidth link rate for the WAN interface to create a QoS class.

Priority. Select a priority type from the drop-down list:

Real-Time. Specifies real-time traffic class. Traffic that is your highest priority should be given this value.

Interactive. Specifies an interactive traffic class.

Business Critical. Specifies the business critical traffic class.

Normal Priority. Specifies normal priority traffic class.

Low Priority. Specifies low priority traffic class. Traffic that is your lowest priority should be given this value.

Priorities are listed in decreasing order of importance. These are minimum priority guarantees, if better service is available it is provided. For example, if a class is specified as Low Priority and the higher priority classes are not active, then the Low Priority class is given the highest possible priority for the current traffic conditions.

Guaranteed BW. Specify the bandwidth amount that you want to guarantee for a specific class. All the classes combined cannot exceed 100%. During contention for bandwidth the class is guaranteed for the amount specified, it will receive more bandwidth if there is unused bandwidth remaining.

The QoS feature allows you to enforce a DSCP level for optimized connections. The

DSCP level corresponds to the DiffServ DSCP field in the IP packets header. After you map a source-destination-port pattern and a DSCP level, every packet corresponding to the connection with that destination port has the DSCP field set to that value in the forward and backward direction. On the WAN side of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, you configure a network router or a traffic shaper to prioritize packets according to the value in the DSCP field before they are sent across the WAN.

After you map a destination port and a DSCP level, every packet corresponding to the connection with that destination port has the DSCP field set to that value in the forward and backward direction. On the WAN side of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, you configure a network router or a traffic shaper to prioritize packets according to the value in the DSCP field before they are sent across the WAN.

Note that only the first matching mapping will be applied.

Enabling

Simplified

Routing

You can enable simplified routing in the Advanced Networking - Simplified Routing page.

Simplified routing collects the IP address for the next hop Media Access Control

(MAC) address from each packet it receives to use in addressing traffic. Enabling simplified routing eliminates the need to add static routes when the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator is in a different subnet from the client and server.

Without simplified routing if an HP EFS WAN Accelerator is installed in a different subnet from the client or server, you must define one router as the default gateway and static routes for the other routers so that traffic is not redirected back through the HP

EFS WAN Accelerator. In some cases, even with the static routes defined, the Access

Control List (ACL) on the default gateway may still drop traffic that should have gone through the other router.

Simplified routing has the following constraints:

‹ Broadcast support in Proxy File Service configurations cannot be enabled.

‹

‹

‹

‹

WCCP cannot be enabled.

Connection forwarding cannot be enabled if you collect mappings for source

MAC data (that is, the options all or dest-source).

The default route must exist on each HP EFS WAN Accelerator in your network.

Simplified routing requires a client-side and server-side HP EFS WAN

Accelerator.

Weight. Determine how often the traffic is redirected to a particular HP EFS WAN

Accelerator. A higher weight redirects more traffic to that HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

The ratio of traffic redirected to an HP EFS WAN Accelerator is equal to its weight divided by the sum of the weights of all the HP EFS WAN Accelerators in the same service group. For example, if there are two HP EFS WAN Accelerators in a service group and one has a weight of 100 and the other has a weight of 200, the one with the weight 100 receives 1/3 of the traffic and the other receives 2/3 of the traffic.

NOTE: PFS is not supported on the Model 510.

PFS is an optional integrated virtual file server that allows you to store copies of files on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with Windows file access, while creating several options for transmitting data between remote offices and centralized locations with improved performance and functions. PFS provides:

‹

‹

‹

LAN access to data residing across the WAN.

Continuous access to files in the event of WAN disruption.

Simplified branch infrastructure and backup architectures.

In v3.0 you no longer need to install the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility (RCU) service on the server to synchronize your PFS shares—all RCU functionality has been moved to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. When you upgrade from v2.x to v3.x all your existing shares will be running as v2.x shares. If you have legacy shares (that is, shares created with Version v2.x software), you can convert your v2.x shares to v3.x shares in the Management Console.

Description

Select one of the following options from the drop-down list:

Broadcast. The share originates on the origin server and a read-only copy is available as a share on the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The data is updated periodically on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator with the data from the origin server.

You specify when and how frequently updates (that is, synchronization) are to occur when you configure a share.

IMPORTANT: While performing a incremental synchronization for Broadcast mode share, if files are deleted on the server, they are not deleted on the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator.

IMPORTANT: For Broadcast mode: if you are performing directory moves regularly

(for example, mv ./dir1/dir2 ./dir3/dir2), incremental synchronization will not reflect these directory changes. You must perform a full synchronization more frequently to keep the PFS shares in synchronization with the remote site.

Local. After the HP EFS WAN Accelerator receives the initial copy, new data generated by clients is periodically synchronized to the origin server. The folder on the origin server essentially becomes a back-up folder of the share on the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator. Users must not directly write to this folder on the origin server. You specify when and how frequently updates (that is, synchronization) are to occur when you configure a share.

CAUTION: In Local Mode, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator copy of the data is the master copy; do not make changes to the shared files from the origin server while in

Local mode. Changes are propagated from the remote office hosting the share to the origin server.

NOTE: PFS does not support non-domain accounts other than Administrator accounts.

If you create Local mode shares on a non-administrator account, your security permissions for the share will not be preserved on the origin server.

Stand-Alone. Provides the branch-office HP EFS WAN Accelerator with a one time working copy of data mapped from the origin server. You can specify a remote path to a directory on the origin server, creating a copy at the branch-office. This data is not synchronized back to the origin server. The stand-alone share is an initial and one-time only synchronization.

Select one of the following software versions from the drop-down list. The controls change according to the version you choose. This value represents the version of the share that you want to create.

Version 2. Specify the server name and remote path for the share folder on the origin file server. With v2 you must have the RCU service running on a Windows server— this can be the origin file server or a separate server.

HP recommends you upgrade your v2.x shares to 3.x shares so that you do not have to

run the RCU on a server. For detailed information, see “Upgrading Shares from V2.x to

V3.x” on page 107 .

IMPORTANT: If you have shares that were created with v2.x of the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator software, the account that starts the RCU must have full permissions to the folder on the origin file server. Also, the log-in user for the RCU server (which is used for v2.x shares) and the share creation user for v3 shares must to be a member of the

Administrators group, either locally on the file server (the local Administrators group) or globally in the domain (the Domain Administrator group).

Version 3. Specify the login, password, and remote path used to access the share folder on the origin file server. With v3, the RCU runs on the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator—you do not need to install the RCU service on a Windows server.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the users are members of the Administrators group on the remote share server, either locally on the file server (the local Administrators group) or globally in the domain (the Domain Administrator group).

Incremental Sync Schedule, Date and Time

Specify the date and time that you want updates (synchronization) to start. The first synchronization, or the initial copy, retrieves data from origin file server and copies it to the local disk on the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. Subsequent synchronizations are based on the synchronization interval.

IMPORTANT: For Local mode, changes are synchronized from the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator to the origin file server; Broadcast mode changes are synchronized from the origin file server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

IMPORTANT: For Broadcast mode: if you are performing directory moves regularly

(for example, mv ./dir1/dir2 ./dir3/dir2), incremental synchronization will not reflect these directory changes. You must perform a full synchronization more frequently to keep the PFS shares in synchronization with the remote site.

Specify the frequency of updates (synchronization) in minutes.

Shares

To initialize and enable a share

After you have configured your PFS shares, you must perform the initial synchronization and enable your shares in the Proxy File Services (PFS) - Shares

Details page.

When you perform the initial synchronization of the share, a copy of the data is downloaded from the origin server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. The HP EFS

WAN Accelerator also configures the share for automatic synchronization according to the parameters you specified previously.

When you enable sharing for the first time, the share is made available to users for mounting. Users can map the mounted share using standard Windows mapping procedures. For example, map a network drive using the following format:

\\<appliance name or primary interface IP address>\<name of share>

1. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup menu.

5. Click Syncing Enable to download the initial copy of the share from the origin server to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator and to configure the share for automatic synchronization.

6. Click Sharing Enable to make the share available to end users for mounting. End users will be able to read the share by mapping to the mounted share (for example,

\\HP EFS WAN Accelerator\share1).

After you enable sharing, you can map this share from your machine by typing:

\\<HP EFS WAN Accelerator or primary interface IP address>\<name of share>

7. Click Save to write your changes to disk or Cancel to cancel your settings.

NOTE: When performing the initial synchronization, or when changing large amounts of data, your bandwidth utilization and other graphs may show pockets of inactivity. This is by design.

Upgrading Shares from V2.x to V3.x

When you upgrade to v3.x software, all your existing shares will be running as v2.x shares.

In v3.0 you no longer need to install the HP EFS Remote Copy Utility (RCU) service on the server for synchronization purposes—all RCU functionality has been moved to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

If you have legacy shares (that is, shares created with Version 2.x software), you must upgrade your v2.x shares to v3.x shares in the Management Console.

IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you convert your v2.x shares to v3.x shares. HP recommends you do not configure a mixed system of PFS shares, that is v2.x shares and v3.x shares.

When you upgrade your shares you must specify the remote path for the share. The format depends on the path name:

‹

‹

If you created your share with v2.x software, this value represents the name of the

Windows server where the RCU is running. If the remote path share contains a drive letter, then you must provide a new remote path in UNC format that points to the same directory. For example, if the remote path was c:\data\eng on a server called granite. To upgrade, you must log in to granite, and make c:\data\eng a shared directory, with the name eng. In the Management Console, you specify

\\granite\eng as your new remote path for the v3.x upgrade.

If the remote path share is in UNC format, you simply copy that path to the

Remote Path field.

Creating Port Labels

This section describes how to create port labels. It includes the following sections:

‹

“Creating Port Labels” on page 113

‹

“Modifying Ports in a Port Label” on page 115

You create port labels in the Port Labels page. Port labels are names given to sets of port numbers. You use port labels to simplify configuration and reporting tasks you perform with the Management Console. For example, you can create port labels to define a set of ports for which the same in-path, load-balancing, or QoS rules apply.

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator automatically discovers all the ports in the system that have traffic. The discovered port along with a label (if one exists) is added to the

Traffic Summary report. If a label does not exist then an unknown label is added to the discovered port.

If you want to change the unknown label to a name representing the port, you must add the port with new label. All statistics for this new port label are preserved from the time the port was discovered.

The following tables summarizes the port labels that are provided by default.

Description and Ports

Automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell).

Specifies well-known ports used by the system: 7800-7801 (in-path), 7810 (out-of-path),

7820 (failover), 7850 (connection forwarding), 7860 (Interceptor appliance).

Automatically passes through traffic on secure ports (for example, ssh, https, and smtps).

When you Save your configuration settings, the values are written to disk and saved permanently. They take effect after you restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service.

Each time you save your configuration settings, they are written to the current running configuration, and a backup is created. For example, if the running configuration is

myconfig and you save it, myconfig is backed up to myconfig.bak and myconfig is overwritten with the current configuration settings.

The Configuration Manager is a utility that enables you to save configurations as backups or active configuration backups.

The Configuration Manager also includes an Import Configuration utility to support these common use cases:

‹ Replacing an HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If you are swapping one HP EFS

WAN Accelerator for another, you can import all of the network information

(although not the licenses) and disconnect the old HP EFS WAN Accelerator before you switch configurations on the new HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

‹ Configuration template for a large deployment. You can avoid entering the complete HP EFS WAN Accelerator configuration for each of many appliances by setting up a template HP EFS WAN Accelerator and importing template settings to the configuration list.

Reports

What This Report

Tells You

150

The Performance - Data Store Hits report summarizes how many times the HP EFS

WAN Accelerator data-store disk and memory have seen a data segment. A hit is a data segment that has been seen before by the data store in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

If a hit has occurred, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator sends the reference to the data segment rather than the actual data over the WAN.

The Performance - Data Store Hits report contains the following table of statistics that summarize data store activity.

Field

Total Hits over Last Week

Misses

Description

Specifies the total number of hits against the data store. A hit is a data segment that has been seen before by the data store in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator. If a hit has occurred, the

HP EFS WAN Accelerator sends the reference to the data rather than the actual data over the WAN.

Specifies the number of misses that occurred. A miss is an unmatched data segment—the data store has not seen the data segment before and must send all the data across the

WAN. The data is Lempel-Ziv (LZ) compressed if LZ compression is enabled. For detailed information about

setting optimization policies, see “Setting In-Path Rules” on page 25 .

Half-Opened (Optimized) Only. Specifies the total half-opened active connections. A half-opened connection is a TCP connection in which the connection has not been fully established. Half-opened connections count toward the connection count limit on the appliance because at any time they might become a fully opened connection. If you are experiencing a large number of half-opened connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized system.

Half-Closed (Optimized) Only. Specifies the total half-closed active connections.

Half-closed connections are connections which the appliance has intercepted and optimized but are in the process of becoming inactive. These connections are counted toward the connection count limit on the appliance. (Half closed connections might remain if the client or server does not close their connections cleanly.) If you are experiencing a large number of half-closed connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized system.

Pass-Through Only. Specifies the total connections passed through, unoptimized when the connection limit has been reached.

Forwarded. Specifies the total number of connections that were forwarded when you have configured a connection forwarding neighbor to manage the connection.

IMPORTANT: For two HP EFS WAN Accelerators to optimize traffic, ports 7800 and 7810, must be passed through firewall devices located between the pair of HP EFS WAN Accelerators.

Also, SYN and SYN/ACK packets with the TCP option 76 must be passed through firewalls for autodiscovery to function properly. For the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Manager, port 22 must be passed through the firewall for it to function properly.

Commonly Optimized Ports

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator by default optimizes all ports. If you do not want the

HP EFS WAN Accelerator to optimize all ports for an in-path or out-of path configuration, you can specify specific ports for optimization.

Although these ports can vary according to your requirements, the following ports are commonly optimized and monitored for in-path and out-of-path configurations:

‹

‹

“Accessing the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Enterprise MIB,”

next

“HP EFS WAN Accelerator Enterprise MIB” on page 211

Accessing the HP EFS WAN Accelerator

Enterprise MIB

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator Enterprise MIB monitors device status, peers, and provides network statistics for seamless integration into network management systems such as Hewlett Packard OpenView Network Node Manager, Paessler Router Traffic

Grapher (PRTG), and other SNMP browser tools.

For detailed information about configuring and using these network monitoring tools, consult their individual web sites.

The following guidelines describe how to download and access the HP EFS WAN

Accelerator Enterprise MIB using common MIB browsing utilities.

‹

‹

You can download the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Enterprise MIB (RBT-mib.txt) from the HP support site at http://www.hp.com and load it into any MIB browser utility.

Some utilities might expect a file type other than a text file. If this occurs, change the file type to the one expected.

‹

‹

Some utilities assume that the root is mib-2 by default. If the utility sees a new node, such as enterprises, it might look under mib-2.enterprises. If this occurs, use .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rbt as the root.

Some command-line browsers might not load all MIB files by default. If this occurs, find the appropriate command option to load the RBT-mib.txt file. For example, for NET-SNMP browsers: snmwalk -m all

Glossary

ARP. Address Resolution Protocol. An IP protocol used to obtain a node's physical address.

Bandwidth. The upper limit on the amount of data, typically in kilobits per second

(kbps), that can pass through a network connection. Greater bandwidth indicates faster data transfer capability.

Bit. A Binary digit. The smallest unit of information handled by a computer; either 1 or 0 in the binary number system.

Blade. One component in a system that is designed to accept some number of components (blades).

Bottleneck. Anode in a network at which information is processed more slowly, or any element (for example, a network interface card) that slows network connectivity rates

CIFS. Common Internet File System. CIFS is the remote file system access protocol used by Windows servers and clients to share files across the network.

Database Cursor. A record pointer in a database. When a database file is selected and the cursor is opened, the cursor points to the first record in the file. Using various commands, the cursor can be moved forward, backward, to top of file, bottom of file and so forth.

Default gateway. The default address of a network or Web site. It provides a single domain name and point of entry to the network or site.

DHCP. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network.

Domain. In the Internet, a portion of the Domain Name Service (DNS) that refers to groupings of networks based on the type of organization or geography.

DNS. Domain Name Service. System used in the Internet for translating names of network nodes into IP addresses. A Domain Name Server notifies hosts of other host

IP addresses, associating host names with IP addresses.

Ethernet. The most widely used Local Area Network (LAN) access method.

HP S TORAGE W ORKS EFS WAN A CCELERATOR M ANAGEMENT C ONSOLE U SER G UIDE 225

226

FDDI. Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A set of American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) protocols for sending digital data over fiber optic cable. FDDI networks are token-passing networks, and support data rates of up to 100 Mbps (100 million bits) per second. FDDI networks are typically used as backbones for Wide-

Area Networks (WANs).

Filer. An appliance that attaches to a computer network and is used for data storage.

Gateway. A computer that acts as an intermediate device for two or more networks that use the same protocols. The gateway functions as an entry and exit point to the network. Transport protocol conversion might not be required, but some form of processing is typically performed.

Gigabit Ethernet. An Ethernet technology that raises transmission speed to 1 Gbps

(1000 Mbps).

Hashing. Producing hash values for accessing data or for security. A hash value, is a number generated from a string of text. The hash is substantially smaller than the text itself and it is generated by a formula in such a way that it is extremely unlikely that some other text will produce the same hash value.

Heartbeat. A repeating signal transmitted from one appliance to another that indicates that the appliance is operating.

Heuristic. A method of problem solving using exploration and trial and error methods.

Heuristic program design provides a framework for solving the problem in contrast with a fixed set of rules (algorithmic) that cannot vary.

Host. A computer or other computing device that resides on a network.

Host address. The IP address assigned to each computer attached to the network.

Host name. Name given to a computer, usually by DNS.

HSRP. Hot Standby Routing Protocol. HSRP is a routing protocol from Cisco that provides backup to a router in the event of failure. Using HSRP, several routers are connected to the same segment of an Ethernet, FDDI or token-ring network and work together to present the appearance of a single virtual router on the LAN. The routers share the same IP and MAC addresses, therefore in the event of failure of one router, the hosts on the LAN are able to continue forwarding packets to a consistent IP and

MAC address. The process of transferring the routing responsibilities from one device to another is transparent to the user.

HTTP. Hypertext Transport Protocol. The protocol used by Web browsers to communicate with Web servers.

HTTPS. Hypertext Transport Protocol Secure. The protocol for accessing a secure

Web server. Using HTTPS directs the message to a secure port number to be managed by a security protocol.

Interface. The point at which a connection is made between two elements, systems, or devices so that they can communicate with one another.

G LOSSARY

Internet. The collection of networks tied together to provide a global network that use the TCP/IP suite of protocols.

IP. Internet protocol. Network layer protocol in the TCP/IP stack that enables a connectionless internetwork service.

IP address. In IP version 4 (IPv4), a 32-bit address assigned to hosts using the IP protocol. Also called an Internet address.

IPsec. Internet Protocol Security Protocol. A set of protocols to support secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. IPsec has been deployed widely to implement

Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). IPsec supports two encryption modes: Transport and

Tunnel. For IPsec to work, the sending and receiving devices must share a public key.

Latency. Delay between a request being issued and its response being received.

Layer-4. A communications protocol (called the transport layer) responsible for establishing a connection and ensuring that all data has arrived safely. The application delivers its data to the communications system by passing a stream of data Bytes to the transport layer along with the socket (the IP address of the station and a port number) of the destination machine.

MAPI. Messaging API. A programming interface from Microsoft that enables a client application to send and receive mail from Exchange Server or a Microsoft Mail (MS

Mail) messaging system. Microsoft applications such as Outlook, the Exchange client, and Microsoft Schedule use MAPI.

Microsoft Exchange. Messaging and groupware software for Windows from

Microsoft. The Exchange server is an Internet-compliant messaging system that runs under Windows systems and can be accessed by Web browsers, the Windows In-box,

Exchange client, or Outlook. The Exchange server is also a storage system that can hold anything that needs to be shared.

Netmask. A 32-bit mask which shows how an Internet address is divided into network, subnet, and host parts. The netmask has ones in the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are used for the network and subnet parts, and zeros for the host part.

The mask must contain at least the standard network portion (as determined by the class of the address), and the subnet field should be contiguous with the network portion.

Neural Network. A modeling technique based on the observed behavior of biological neurons and used to mimic the performance of a system. It consists of a set of elements that start out connected in a random pattern, and, based upon operational feedback, are molded into the pattern required to generate the required results. It is used in applications such as robotics, diagnosing, forecasting, image processing and pattern recognition.

NFS. Network File System. The file sharing protocol in a UNIX network.

NIS. Network Information Services. A naming service that allows resources to be easily added, deleted or relocated.

OSPF. Open Shortest Path First. An interior gateway routing protocol developed for

IP networks based on the shortest path first or link-state algorithm. Routers use link-

HP S TORAGE W ORKS EFS WAN A CCELERATOR M ANAGEMENT C ONSOLE U SER G UIDE 227

228 state algorithms to send routing information to all nodes in an internetwork by calculating the shortest path to each node based on a topography of the Internet constructed by each node. Each router sends that portion of the routing table (keeps track of routes to particular network destinations) that describes the state of its own links. It also sends the complete routing structure (topography).

Packet. A unit of information transmitted, as a whole, from one device to another on a network.

Probe. A small utility program that is used to investigate, or test, the status of a system, network or Web site.

Policy. Routing and Quality of Service (QoS) scheme that forwards data packets to network interfaces based on user-configured parameters.

Port. A pathway into and out of the computer or a network device such as a hub, switch, or router. On network devices, the ports are for communications, typically connecting Ethernet cables or other network devices.

Router. A device that forwards data packets from one LAN or WAN to another. Based on routing tables and routing protocols, routers read the network address in each transmitted frame and make a decision on how to send it based on the most expedient route (traffic load, line costs, speed, bad lines, etc.). Routers work at Layer-3 in the protocol stack, whereas bridges and switches work at the Layer-2.

SMB. Server Message Block. A message format used by DOS and Windows to share files, directories and devices. There are also a number of products that use SMB to enable file sharing among different operating system platforms. A product called

Samba, for example, enables UNIX and Windows machines to share directories and files.

SNMP. Simple Network Management Protocol. A network protocol that provides a way to monitor network devices, performance, and security and to manage configurations and collect statistics.

Switch. A network device that filters and forwards frames based on the destination address of each frame. The switch operates at Layer-2 (data link layer) of the Open

System Interconnection (OSI) model.

Tcl. Tool Command Language. A scripting language for developing cross-platform applications. Tcl is an interpreted language that runs on Windows, UNIX, and

Macintosh operating systems. An associated add-on toolkit, Tk (Toolkit) allows you to easily create graphical applications.

TCP. Transmission Control Protocol. The error correcting Transport layer (Layer-4) in the TCP/IP protocol suite.

TCP/IP. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The protocol suite used in the Internet, intranets, and extranets. TCP provides transport functions, which ensures that the total amount of Bytes sent is received correctly at the other end. TCP/IP is a routable protocol, and the IP part of TCP/IP provides this capability.
