CHAPTER 1

Using the Command-Line Interface

This chapter describes how to access and use the CLI. This chapter includes the following sections:

Connecting to the CLI, next Overview of the CLI on page 12 Entering Commands on page 12 Accessing Online Help on page 13 Error Messages on page 13 Command Negation on page 13 Saving Configuration Changes on page 13

Connecting to the CLI

This section assumes you have already performed the initial setup of the appliance using the configuration wizard. For detailed information, see the installation guide for the system. To connect the CLI 1. You can connect to the CLI using one of the following options:

An ASCII terminal or emulator that can connect to the serial console. It must have the following settings: 9600 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. A computer with an SSH client that is connected to the appliance Primary port (in rare cases, you might connect through the Auxiliary port).

2. At the system prompt enter the following command if the appliance resolves to your local DNS:
ssh [email protected]

otherwise at the system prompt enter the following command:

ssh admin@ipaddress

3. When prompted, enter the administrator password. This is the password you set during the initial configuration process. The default password is password.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Using the Command-Line Interface

You can also log in as a monitor user (monitor). Monitor users cannot make configuration changes to the system. Monitor users can view statistics and system logs.

Overview of the CLI

The CLI has the following modes:

User. When you start a CLI session, you begin in the default, user-mode. From user-mode you can run common network tests such as ping and view network configuration settings and statistics. You do not enter a command to enter user-mode. To exit this mode, enter exit at the command line. Enable. To access all commands, you must enter enable-mode. From enable-mode, you can enter any enable-mode command or enter configuration-mode. You must be an administrator user to enter enable-mode. To exit this mode, enter exit at the command line. You cannot enter enable-mode if you are a monitor user.

Configuration. To make changes to the running configuration, you must enter configuration-mode. To save configuration changes to memory, you must enter the write memory command. To enter configuration-mode, you must first be in enable-mode. To exit this mode, enter exit at the command line.

The commands available to you depend on which mode you are in. Entering a question mark (?) at the system prompt provides a list of commands for each command mode.
Mode user Access Method Each CLI session begins in user-mode. System Prompt host > Exit Method exit Description Perform common network tests, such as ping. Display system settings and statistics. enable Enter the enable command at the system prompt while in user-mode. host # disable Note: To exit to usermode, enter the exit command. Perform basic system administration tasks, such as restarting and rebooting the system. Display system data and statistics. Perform all user-mode commands. configuration Enter the configure terminal command at the system prompt while in enable-mode. host (config) # exit Configure system parameters. Perform all user and enable-mode commands.

Entering Commands
The CLI accepts abbreviations for commands. The following example is the abbreviation for the configure terminal command:

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Using the Command-Line Interface

tilden # configure t

You can press the tab key to complete a CLI command automatically.

Accessing Online Help

At the system prompt, type the full or partial command string followed by a question mark (?). The CLI displays the command keywords or parameters for the command and a short description. To access online help

At the system prompt enter the following command:

tilden (config) # show ?

The CLI does not display the question mark.

Error Messages
If at any time the system does not recognize the command or parameter, it displays the following message:
tilden (config) # logging files enable % Unrecognized command "enable". Type "logging files?" for help.

If a command is incomplete, the following message is displayed:

tilden (config) # logging % Incomplete command. Type "logging ?" for help.

Command Negation
You can type no before many of the commands to negate the syntax. Depending on the command or the parameters, command negation disables the command or returns the parameter to the default value.

Saving Configuration Changes

The show configuration running command displays the current configuration of the system. When you make a configuration change to the system, the change becomes part of the running configuration. The change does not automatically become part of the configuration file in memory until you write the file to memory. If you do not save your changes to memory, they are lost when the system restarts. To save all configuration changes to memory, you must enter the write memory command while in configuration-mode.

CHAPTER 3

Enable-Mode Commands

This chapter is a reference for enable-mode commands. It includes the following sections:

System Administration Commands, next Displaying System Data on page 114

You can perform basic system administration tasks in enable-mode. Only administrator users can perform enable-mode commands. All commands available in user-mode are also available in enable-mode. Some enable commands are described in the Chapter 4, Configuration-Mode Commands because they are more easily understood in relationship to the feature set of which they are a part. For example, the inpath asym-route-tab flush and the in-path asym-route-tab remove commands are described with the inpath asymmetric routing commands. The usage section for these enable-mode commands remind you that you can also access these commands while in enable-mode. To enter enable-mode 1. Connect to the CLI. For detailed information, see Connecting to the CLI on page 11. 2. To enter enable-mode, at the system prompt enter:
amnesiac > enable

To exit enable-mode, enter exit. For information about the exit command, see exit on page 16.

tcpdump
Description Executes the tcpdump utility. You can quickly diagnose problems and take traces for Riverbed Technical Support. The tcpdump command takes the standard Linux options. For detailed information, see the Linux man page. tcpdump [<options>] [<filter string>]

Syntax

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

111

Enable-Mode Commands

Parameters

The tcpdump command takes the standard Linux options: -a Attempt to convert network and broadcast addresses to names. -c Exit after receiving count packets. -d Dump the compiled packet-matching code in a human readable form to standard output and stop. -dd Dump packet-matching code as a C program fragment. -ddd Dump packet-matching code as decimal numbers (preceded with a count). -e Print the link-level header on each dump line. -E Use algo:secret for decrypting IPsec ESP packets. -f Print foreign internet addresses numerically rather than symbolically. -F Use file as input for the filter expression. An additional expression given on the command line is ignored. -i Listen on interface. If unspecified, tcpdump searches the system interface list for the lowest numbered, configured up interface. -n Do not convert addresses (such as host addresses, port numbers, and so forth) to names. -N Do not print domain name qualification of hostnames. For example, if you specify this flag, then tcpdump will print nic instead of nic.ddn.mil. -m Load SMI MIB module definitions from file module. This option can be used several times to load several MIB modules into tcpdump. -q Quiet output. Print less protocol information so output lines are shorter. -r Read packets from file (which was created with the -w option). Standard input is used if file is -. -S Print absolute, not relative, TCP sequence numbers. -v (Slightly more) verbose output. For example, the time to live, identification, total length and options in an IP packet are printed. Also enables additional packet integrity checks such as verifying the IP and ICMP header checksum. -w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed with the -r option. Standard output is used if file is -. -x Print each packet (minus its link level header) in hex. The smaller of the entire packet or snaplen bytes will be printed. -X When printing hex, print ascii too. Thus if -x is also set, the packet is printed in hex/ascii. This option enables you to analyze new protocols. For detailed information, see the Linux man page.

Usage

Make sure you take separate tcpdumps for the LAN and WAN to submit to Riverbed Technical Support. Make sure you take the tcpdump on the in-path interface. The most common options are: -n Do not resolve addresses via DNS -i <interface> capture on <interface> To take traces on lanX_Y and wanX_Y, not inpathX_Y: -e display layer 2 headers, MAC addresses, and VLAN tags -s <bytes> capture up to <bytes> bytes per packet The default is 96 bytes; not enough for deep packet inspection for Riverbed Technical Support, instead use: -s 0 to capture full frames -w <file> store the trace in <file> (needed when taking traces for offline analysis) Common Packet Filters src host <ip> source IP address is <ip> dst host <ip> destination IP address is <ip> host <ip> either source or destination is <ip> Same for src port, dst port, and port Can connect multiple filters together with logical operators: and, or, and not. Use parentheses to override operator precedence. For example:
tcpdump i lan0_0 not port 22 tcpdump i lan0_0 host 1.1.1.1 and port 2222 tcpdump i wan0_0 host 3.3.3.3 and (port 4444 or port 5555)

Suppose two Steelhead appliances are having a problem optimizing a connection:

Client Client Server Server IP SH IP SH = 10.10.10.10 IP = 10.10.10.20 = 11.11.11.11 IP = 11.11.11.21

Take traces on all LAN/WAN interfaces on both Steelhead appliances to diagnose:

C-SH# tcpdump n i lan0 host 10.10.10.10 and host 11.11.11.11 C-SH# tcpdump n i wan0_0 (host 10.10.10.10 and host 11.11.11.11) or (host 10.10.10.20 and host 11.11.11.21) S-SH# tcpdump n i lan0 host 10.10.10.10 and host 11.11.11.11 S-SH# tcpdump n i wan0_0 (host 10.10.10.10 and host 11.11.11.11) or (host 10.10.10.20 and host 11.11.11.21)

Keep the tcpdump running and establish a connection. If the problem is not obvious, use -w to capture to files, and examine in a tool like Wireshark. Sometimes you can capture very large traces of data and traffic you are interested in is a small subset of the entire trace. To work around this problem, run tcpdump through its own trace to cut down on the number of packets. Use the -r <file> option, to read from a file instead of capture on an interface
tcpdump n r my_trace.cap w my_filtered_trace.cap host 5.5.5.5 and port 2323

Configuration-Mode Commands

This chapter is a reference for configuration-mode commands. It includes the following sections:

Displaying Role-Based Management Configuration Settings, next System Administration Commands on page 133 Steelhead Appliance Feature Configuration Commands on page 196 Interceptor Appliance Feature Commands on page 377 Central Management Console Feature Commands on page 390

You can perform configuration tasks while in configuration-mode. Only administrator users can perform configuration-mode and enable-mode commands. All commands available in user-mode and enable-mode are also available in configuration-mode. Monitor users cannot perform configuration tasks. To enter configuration-mode 1. Connect to the CLI. For detailed information, see Connecting to the CLI on page 11. 2. Enter enable-mode; at the system prompt enter enable:
amnesiac > enable

3. Enter configuration-mode; at the system prompt enter configure terminal:

amnesiac # configure terminal amnesiac #

You are now in configuration-mode. To exit configuration-mode, enter exit. For information about the exit command, see exit on page 16. Although most of the Steelhead appliance configuration commands are also available in the Interceptor appliance, CMC appliance, and Steelhead Mobile Controller. Riverbed strongly recommends that you do not use the CLI to perform configuration tasks. Riverbed recommends that you use their respective Management Consoles to perform configuration, system administration, and system reporting and monitoring tasks.

Tip: For an alphabetical list of commands, see the Index at the end of this book.

aaa authorization map default-user

Description Specify what local user the authenticated user will be logged in as when they are authenticated (through RADIUS or TACACS+) and do not have a local user mapping specified in the remote database. [no] aaa authorization map default-user <user_name> <user_name> Specify the user name for RADIUS or TACACS+ authentication: admin or monitor.

Syntax Parameters Usage

When a user is authenticated through RADIUS or TACACS+ and does not have a local account, this command specifies what local account the authenticated user is logged in as. For the local authentication method, this setting is ignored. This mapping depends on the setting of the aaa authorization map order command. The no command option disables user default mapping.

Example Product Related Topics

amnesiac (config) # aaa authorization map default-user admin

CMC appliance, Interceptor appliance, Steelhead appliance show aaa, show radius, show tacacs

aaa authorization map order

Description Syntax Parameters Sets the order for remote-to-local user mappings for RADIUS or TACACS+ server authentication. [no] aaa authorization map order <policy> <policy> Specify the order in which to apply the authentication policy: remote-only, remote-first, local-only.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

135

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

The order determines how the remote user mapping behaves. If the authenticated user name is valid locally, no mapping is performed. The setting has the following behaviors: remote-first. If a local-user mapping attribute is returned and it is a valid local user name, map the authenticated user to the local user specified in the attribute. If the attribute is not present or not valid locally, use the user name specified by the default-user command. (This is the default behavior.) remote-only. Map only to a remote authenticated user if the authentication server sends a local-user mapping attribute. If the attribute does not specify a valid local user, no further mapping is attempted. local-only. All remote users are mapped to the user specified by the aaa authorization map default-user <user name> command. Any vendor attributes received by an authentication server are ignored. To set TACACS+ authorization levels (admin and read-only) to allow certain members of a group to log in, add the following attribute to users on the TACACS+ server:
service = rbt-exec { local-user-name = "monitor" }

where you replace monitor with admin for write access. To turn off general authentication in the Interceptor appliance, enter the following command at the system prompt:
aaa authorization map order remote-only

The no command option disables authentication. Example Product Related Topics

amnesiac (config) # aaa authorization map order remote-only

CMC appliance, Interceptor appliance, Steelhead appliance show aaa, show radius, show tacacs

aaa authorization per-command default

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Configures authorization mapping settings. [no] aaa authorization per-command default <method> <method> Specify the authentication method: tacacs+ or local. Use a space separated list.

The order in which the methods are specified is the order in which the authorization is attempted. The no command option clears all authorization states and returns the user authorization to the local user name database.

Configuration-Mode Commands

radius-server host
Description Syntax Parameters Adds a RADIUS server to the set of servers used for authentication. [no] radius-server host {<ip-addr> | auth-port <port-number> | timeout <seconds> | retransmit <retries> | key <string>} <ip-addr> auth-port <port> timeout <seconds> retransmit <number> Specify the RADIUS server IP address. Specify the authentication port number to use with this RADIUS server. The default value is 1812. Specify the time-out period to use with this RADIUS server. Specify the number of times the client attempts to authenticate with any RADIUS server. The default value is 1. The range is 0-5. To disable retransmissions, set it to 0. Specify the shared secret text string used to communicate with this RADIUS server. The range is 0-7.

key <keynumber> Usage

RADIUS servers are tried in the order they are configured. The same IP address can be used in more than one radius-server host command if the auth-port value is different for each. The auth-port value is a UDP port number. The auth-port value must be specified immediately after the host <ip-addr> option (if present). Some parameters override the RADIUS server global defaults. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. The no command option stops sending RADIUS authentication requests to the host. If no radius-server host <ip-addr> is specified, all radius configurations for the host are deleted. The no radius-server host <ip-addr> auth-port <port> command can be specified to refine which host is deleted, as the previous command deletes all RADIUS servers with the specified IP address.

Example Product Related Topics

amnesiac (config) # radius-server host 10.0.0.0 key XXXX retransmit 3 timeout 10

CMC appliance, Interceptor appliance, Steelhead appliance show aaa, show radius

radius-server key
Description Syntax Parameters Usage Sets the shared secret text string used to communicate with a RADIUS server. [no] radius-server key <string> <string> Sets the shared secret text string used to communicate with any RADIUS server.

This command can be overridden using the radius-server host command. The no command option resets the key to the default value.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

<port> Usage

Specify a comma-separated list of ports and ranges of ports. For example: 22,443,990-995,3077-3078

The Riverbed system includes the following default port labels: Secure. Contains ports that belong to the system label for secure ports. The Steelhead appliance automatically passes through traffic on commonly secure ports (for example, ssh, https, and smtps). For a list of secure ports, see Appendix A, Riverbed Ports. Interactive. Contains ports that belong to the system label for interactive ports. The Steelhead appliance automatically passes through traffic on interactive ports (for example, Telnet, TCP ECHO, remote logging, and shell). For a list of interactive ports, see Appendix A, Riverbed Ports. RBT-Proto. Contains ports that belong to the label for system processes: 7744 (data store synchronization), 7800-7801 (in-path), 7810 (out-of-path), 7820 (failover), 7850 (connection forwarding), 7860 (Interceptor appliance). All. Contains all ports that have been discovered by the system. This label cannot be modified. Unknown. Contains ports that have been discovered by the system that do not belong to another port label (besides All). Riverbed appliances automatically discover active ports. Activity for the discovered port is included in the Traffic Summary report. If a port label contains the discovered port, the report reflects this. If a label does not exist, the port activity is labeled unknown. You can create an appropriately descriptive port label for activity on such ports. All statistics for this new port label are preserved from the time the port was discovered. You can use the port-label FOO port <port> command to add or modify ports in a port label. For example you define port label FOO by issuing following the command.
(config)# port-label FOO port 2-9,14

If you want to add ports to the FOO port label:

(config)# port-label FOO port 10-20

If you run the show port-label FOO command, you will see the new range of ports from 2 to 20. The no command option removes the port label for the specified port label. Example
amnesiac (config) # port-label foo port 22,443,990-995,3077-3078 amnesiac (config) # amnesiac (config) # show port-label foo Port Label: foo 22,443,990-995,3077-3078

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

Encrypting the data store significantly limits the exposure of sensitive data in the event an appliance is compromised by loss, theft, or a security violation. The secure data is difficult for a third party to retrieve. Before you encrypt the data store, the secure vault must be unlocked. The encryption key is stored in the secure vault. Encrypting the data store can have performance implications; generally, higher security means less performance. Several encryption strengths are available to provide the right amount of security while maintaining the desired performance level. When selecting an encryption type, you must evaluate the network structure, the type of data that travels over it, and how much of a performance trade-off is worth the extra security. Important: You must clear the data store and reboot the Steelhead service on the Steelhead appliance after turning on, changing, or turning off the encryption type. After you clear the data store, the data cannot be recovered. If you do not want to clear the data store, reselect your previous encryption type and reboot the service. The Steelhead appliance uses the previous encryption type and encrypted data store. To encrypt the data store 1. Make sure your secure vault is unlocked. The encryption key is stored in the secure vault.
secure-vault unlock

For detailed information see, secure-vault on page 317. 2. Turn on data store encryption;
datastore encryption type AES_256

3. Clean the data store and restart the Steelhead service:

restart clean

Encrypted Data Store Downgrade Limitations The Steelhead appliance cannot use an encrypted data store with an earlier RiOS software version, unless the release is an update (v4.x.x). For example, an encrypted data store created in v4.1.4 would work with v4.1.2, but not with v4.0.x. Before downgrading to an earlier software version, you must select none as the encryption type, clear the data store, and restart the service. After you clear the data store, the data are removed from persistent storage and cannot be recovered. To downgrade the data store 1. Turn off data store encryption.
datastore encryption type NONE

2. Clean the data store and restart the Steelhead service:

restart clean

If you return to a previous software version and there is a mismatch with the encrypted data store, the status bar indicates that the data store is corrupt. You can either: Use the backup software version after clearing the data store and rebooting the service. Or Return to the software version in use when the data store was encrypted, and continue using it. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide.

Configuration-Mode Commands

datastore sdr-policy
Description An adaptive data streamlining mode determines how the Steelhead appliance stores and maintains the data references. It also optimizes disk access for data replication, if needed. The data streamlining approaches range from less to more aggressive. Changing the default setting is optional; you should select another setting only when it becomes critical and only with guidance from Riverbed Technical Support. [no] datastore sdr-policy [default | sdr-a | sdr-m] default Specify the default setting and works for most implementations. The default setting: Provides the most data reduction. Reduces random disk seeks and improves disk throughput by discarding very small data margin segments that are no longer necessary. This Margin Segment Elimination (MSE) process provides network-based disk defragmentation. Writes large page clusters. Monitors the disk write I/O response time to provide more throughput. sdr-a Includes the default settings described above, and also: Balances writes and reads. Monitors both read and write disk I/O response time to provide more throughput. Important: Use caution with this setting, particularly when you are optimizing CIFS or NFS with prepopulation. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support for more information. sdr-m Performs data reduction entirely in memory, which prevents the Steelhead appliance from reading and writing to and from the disk. Enabling this option can yield high LAN-side throughput because it removes all disk latency. SDR-M is most efficient when used between two identical high-end Steelhead appliance models; for example, 6020 - 6020. When used between two different Steelhead appliance models, the smaller model limits the performance. Important: You cannot use peer data store synchronization with SDR-M. Usage Generally, the default setting provides the most data reduction. When choosing an adaptive streamlining mode for your network, you should contact Riverbed Technical Support to help you evaluate the setting based on: the amount of data replication your data store is processing, how often the replication occurs (for example, as soon as a write occurs, or in a nightly batch). how much data reduction you can sacrifice for higher throughput. The adaptive data streamlining mode on the client-side Steelhead appliance and the server-side Steelhead appliance must match. The no command option disables this option.

Configuration-Mode Commands

datastore sync enable

Description Enables pairs of Steelhead appliances on the same side of a WAN to automatically keep their data stores synchronized. This feature provides for failover and overflow capacity without performance loss. Although the two features are typically enabled together, you can enable this feature which, beginning with version 4.0, is also known as active-active synchronization independent of whether you have enabled failover. [no] datastore sync enable None For deployments requiring the highest levels of redundancy and performance, RiOS supports warm standby between designated master and backup devices. Using automated data store synchronization, the data segments and the references created via data streamlining are automatically copied from the master to the backup appliance. In the event of a failure in the master appliance, the backup appliance takes its place with a warm data store, and can begin delivering fully-optimized performance immediately. RiOS supports active-active configurations, in which each appliance is serving both as a master for some traffic and as a backup for the other appliance, with full data store synchronization. Automatic synchronization can include appliances in a serial or WCCP cluster, and appliances using connection forwarding. Note: Synchronization takes place over the primary or auxiliary port only. Failover is not required for data store synchronization. Although the failover and synchronization features are typically enabled together, you can enable data store synchronization independently of standard failover. Note: In most implementations in which both failover and synchronization are enabled, the same Steelhead appliance serves as the master for both failover and data store synchronization. However, if you enable failover and synchronization, the failover master and the synchronization master do not have to be the same Steelhead appliance. You configure two Steelhead appliances to enable synchronization, one as a server (the synchronization master) and the other as a backup. The synchronization master and its backup: must be on the same LAN. do not have to be in the same physical location. If they are in different physical locations, they must be connected via a fast, reliable LAN connection with minimal latency. must be running the same version of the RiOS software. must have the same hardware model. must be configured on the primary or auxiliary interface. When you have configured the master and backup appliances, you must restart the Steelhead service on the backup Steelhead appliance. The master restarts automatically. For detailed information about basic steps for configuring data store synchronization, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. After you have enabled and configured synchronization, the data stores are actively kept synchronized. For information on how synchronized appliances replicate data, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Note: If one of the synchronized Steelhead appliances is under high load, some data might not be copied. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Note: If data store synchronization is interrupted for any reason (such as a network interruption or if one of the Steelhead appliances is taken out of service), the Steelhead appliances continue other operations without disruption. When the interruption is resolved, data store synchronization resumes without risk of data corruption. The no command option disables automatic synchronization.

service default-port
Description Syntax Parameters Usage Sets the default service port. service default-port <port> <port> Specify the new target port. The default service ports are 7800 and 7810.

Service ports are the ports used for inner connections between Steelhead appliances. You can configure multiple service ports on the server-side of the network for multiple QoS mappings. You define a new service port and then map destination ports to that port, so that QoS configuration settings on the router are applied to that service port.

service map-port
Description Syntax Parameters Sets a target port for service port mapping. [no] service map-port <dest port> <service port> <dest port> <service port> Usage Specify the destination port to which you want to map. Specify the service port to which you want to map.

Setting multiple service ports on inner connections enables you to identify the type of traffic and apply QoS settings based on a port. For example, in an in-path deployment, CIFS and MAPI could be mapped to port 9800 and HTTP to port 9802. You can configure the WAN router to tag packets for port 9800 with the same priority as for port 9802, therefore CIFS and MAPI have the same priority as HTTP. Or you can create a hierarchical mapping where port 9800 receives a higher priority than 9802, and so forth. In the out-of-path deployment, you define which port to listen to on the server Steelhead appliance, and you define an in-path, fixed-target rule on the client Steelhead appliance to point to the service ports for the traffic to which you want to apply QoS. You cannot map the following ports: Port 22. Reserved for SSH. Port 80, 443, and 446. Reserved for the Management Console. Port 139, 445, and 977. Reserved for PFS. These ports are only excluded if you have enabled PFS. Port 7800-7899. Reserved by Riverbed (except 7800 and 7810). Port 8777. Reserved for CIFS transparent prepopulation. This port is excluded only if you have enabled CIFS prepopulation. The no command option disables the service map.

service neural-framing
Description Syntax Dumps or enables neural-framing statistics. [no] service neural-framing [dump | iterations | stats enable]

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

187

Configuration-Mode Commands

Parameters

dump iterations stats enable

Dumps neural-framing debug files, which are used by sysdump. Resets Iterations before determining heuristic. Used only with the no option. For example: no service-neural framing iterations Enables collection of neural-framing statistics.

Usage

By default, neural-framing statistics are disabled. Neural framing enables the Steelhead appliance to select the optimal packet framing boundaries for SDR. SDR encoding provides the best optimization results when the largest buffer is available before a flush is performed. Neural framing creates a set of heuristics to intelligently determine the optimal moment to flush TCP buffers. The Steelhead 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 must set the neural framing mode (algorithm) for in-path rules for which you want to apply neural framing. The no command option disables neural-framing statistics.

Shuts down the interface. speed <speed>. Specify the speed for the interface: auto, 10, 100, 1000. The default value is 100. fail-to-bypass enable. Disables fail-to-block (disconnect) mode. The no interface <interface> fail-to-bypass enable command enables fail-toblock mode. In fail-to-block mode, if the Steelhead appliance has an internal software failure or power loss, the Steelhead appliance LAN and WAN interfaces power down and stop bridging traffic. This feature is only useful if the network has a routing or switching infrastructure that can automatically divert traffic off of the link once the failed Steelhead appliance blocks it. Fail-to-block is supported on the following bypass cards: Two-Port Copper Gigabit-Ethernet Bypass Card-B, Four-Port SX Fiber GigabitEthernet Bypass Card, Six-Port Copper Gigabit-Ethernet Bypass Card, Four-Port Copper Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E Bypass Card Series XX50, TwoPort SX Fiber Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E Bypass Card Series XX50, Four-Port SX Fiber Gigabit-Ethernet PCI-E Bypass Card Series XX50 To enable fail-to-block mode
enable configure terminal no interface inpath0_0 fail-to-bypass enable write memory

To change from fail-to-block mode back to fail-to-wire mode

enable configure terminal interface inpath0_0 fail-to-bypass enable write memory

Fail-to-wire (or bypass) mode allows the Steelhead appliance WAN and LAN ports to serve as an Ethernet crossover cable. In fail-to-wire mode, Steelhead appliances cannot view or optimize traffic. Instead, all traffic is passed through the Steelhead appliance unoptimized. All Steelhead appliance in-path interfaces support fail-to-wire mode. Fail-to-wire mode is the default setting for Steelhead appliances. For detailed information about enabling and disabling fail-to-block, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Usage The no command option disables the interface settings.

in-path kickoff
Description Syntax Parameters Usage Resets open connections upon start up. [no] in-path kickoff None When the Steelhead service restarts with kickoff enabled, it breaks existing connections and forces clients to open new connections. With kickoff disabled, open connections are not broken, but they are unoptimized. New connections are optimized. When the appliance is not powered on or the Steelhead service is not running, the failover appliance takes over so that connections continue to be made to the WAN. Generally, connections are short lived and kickoff is not necessary; kickoff 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 cancel 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 Steelhead appliances that use auto-discovery or if you do not have a Steelhead appliance on the remote side of the network. If you do not set any in-path rules, the default behavior is to auto-discover all connections. If kickoff is enabled, all connections that existed before the Steelhead appliance started are reset. The no command option disables the in-path kickoff feature. Example Product Related Topics

vlan <vlan tag ID> optimization {normal | sdr-only | compr-only | none}

Specify the VLAN tag ID (if any). The VLAN identification number is a value with a range from 0-4094. Specify 0 to mark the link untagged. Specify an optimization policy: compr-only. Specify this option to turn off SDR but perform LZ compression. normal. The normal optimization policy is the default. The normal process performs LZ compression and SDR. none. Specify this option to turn off LZ compression and SDR. sdr-only. Specify this option to turn off LZ compression. Setting an optimization policy allows you more flexibility in applying optimization techniques. For example, in some high bandwidth, low latency networks (that is, a short, fat pipe) there are times when disabling SDR (and performing LZ-only) makes sense because disk access could become a bottleneck. If you have questions regarding the best optimization policy for your network, consult with your Sales Engineer of with Riverbed Technical Support about your optimization policy options. To configure optimization policies for the 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 Steelhead appliance affects passive FTP, while setting the QoS for port 20 on the server-side Steelhead appliance affects 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.

preoptimization {ssl |oracle-forms | oracle-forms+ssl | none}

Specify a preoptimization policy: 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. ssl. Specify ssl to enable SSL preoptimization processing for traffic via SSL secure ports. oracle-forms. Specify oracle-forms to enable preoptimization processing for the Oracle Forms browser plug-in. oracle-forms+ssl. Specify to enable preoptimization processing for both the Oracle Forms browser plug-in and SSL encrypted traffic through SSL secure ports on the client-side Steelhead appliance. Important: Make sure you specify latency-opt to none to ensure that SSL connections are optimized.

Specify a latency-optimization policy: http. Perform HTTP optimization on connections matching this rule. normal. Perform HTTP optimization for ports 80 and 8080. This is the default setting. none. Do not perform HTTP optimization on connections matching this rule. Important: If you are configuring preoptimization for SSL connections, make sure you specify latency-opt to none to ensure that SSL connections are optimized.

neural-mode {always | dynamic | never | tcphints}

Enables neural framing in the Steelhead appliance. 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 experiences 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 Steelhead appliance picks the best algorithm to use by learning what algorithm is best and adapting if the traffic characteristic changes. never. Never use the Nagle algorithm.

Correct addressing uses Steelhead appliance IP addresses and port numbers in the TCP/IP packet header fields for optimized traffic in both directions across the WAN. port. Port transparency preserves your server port numbers in the TCP/IP header fields for optimized traffic in both directions across the WAN. Traffic is optimized while the server port number in the TCP/IP header field appears to be unchanged. Routers and network monitoring devices deployed in the WAN segment between the communicating Steelhead appliances can view these preserved fields. full. Full address transparency preserves your client and server IP addresses and port numbers in the TCP/IP header fields for optimized traffic in both directions across the WAN. Additionally, VLAN tags are also preserved. Traffic is optimized while these TCP/ IP header fields appear to be unchanged. Routers and network monitoring devices deployed in the WAN segment between the communicating Steelhead appliances can view these preserved fields. Note: For transparent addressing to function correctly, both of the Steelhead appliances must have RiOS v5.0.x or later installed. If one Steelhead appliance does not support transparent addressing (that is, it has RiOS v4.1 or earlier installed), the Steelhead appliance attempting to optimize a connection in one of the transparent addressing modes automatically reverts to correct addressing mode, and optimization continues. For detailed information about how to configure WAN visibility, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide.

vlan <vlan tag ID> optimization {normal | sdr-only | compronly | none}

Specify the VLAN tag ID (if any). The VLAN identification number is a value with a range from 0-4094. Specify 0 to mark the link untagged. Specify an optimization policy: compr-only. Specify this option to turn off SDR but perform LZ compression. normal. The normal optimization policy is the default. The normal process performs LZ compression and SDR. none. Specify this option to turn off LZ compression and SDR. sdr-only. Specify this option to turn off LZ compression. Setting an optimization policy allows you more flexibility in applying optimization techniques. For example, in some high bandwidth, low latency networks (that is, a short, fat pipe) there are times when disabling SDR (and performing LZ-only) makes sense because disk access could become a bottleneck. If you have questions regarding the best optimization policy for your network, consult with your Sales Engineer of with Riverbed Technical Support about your optimization policy options. To configure optimization policies for the 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 Steelhead appliance affects passive FTP, while setting the QoS for port 20 on the server-side Steelhead appliance affects active FTP. To configure optimization policies for the MAPI data channel, define an in-path rule with the destination port 7830 and set its optimization policy.

neural-mode {always | dynamic | never | tcphints}

Enables neural framing in the Steelhead appliance. 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 Steelhead appliance picks the best algorithm to use by learning what 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.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

With automatic peering the Steelhead appliance automatically finds the furthest Steelhead appliance in a network and optimization occurs there. Automatic peering is disabled by default. When automatic peering is disabled, the Steelhead appliance uses regular auto-discovery. With regular auto-discovery, the Steelhead appliance finds the next appliance in the group and optimization occurs there. In some deployments, automatic peering can simplify configuration and make your deployments more easily scalable. When automatic peering is enabled, the Steelhead appliance automatically finds the furthest Steelhead appliance in a network and optimization occurs there. For example, if you had a deployment with four Steelhead appliances (A, B, C, D), where D represents the appliance that is furthest from A, the Steelhead appliance automatically finds D. This simplifies configuration and makes your deployment more scalable. Cascade configurations enable optimal multi-site deployments where connections between the client and the server might pass through intermediate Steelhead appliances to reach their final destination. Note: For Steelhead appliances running versions prior to v4.0, in-path peering rules are used at the intermediate Steelhead appliances. You can deploy a cascade on either the client side or on the server side.
Example: C-----SH1-----SH2-----SH3-----WAN-----SH4-----SH5-----SH6-----S

The appliances are configured to auto-discover available peers across the WAN. Note: RiOS v5.5.x supports a large number of peers (up to 32,768) per Steelhead appliance. This feature is available only on Steelhead appliance models 5520, 6020, 6050, and 6120. After enabling extended peer table support, you must clear the data store and stop and restart the service. The no command option disables automatic peering. Example Product Related Topics

The data store maintains the peers in groups of 1,024 in the global peer table. By default, this option is not enabled. After enabling this option you must clear the data store and stop and restart the service. Important: Before enabling this feature, you should have a thorough understanding of performance and scaling issues. When deciding whether to use extended peer table support, you need to compare it with using a serial cluster deployment. For more information on serial clusters, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Important: After enabling extended peer table support, you cannot install a RiOS software version earlier than v5.5.x without first clearing the data store. Example Product Related Topics

If the destination IP address and port are of an SSL server that is properly configured and enabled on the server-side Steelhead appliance, and if there is no temporary or short-lived error condition, the SSL-capable check is a success. The Steelhead appliance accepts the condition and, assuming all other proper configurations and that the peering rule is the best match for the incoming connection, optimizes SSL. incap (incapable). If the destination IP address and port are not an SSL server that is properly configured and enabled on the server-side Steelhead appliance, or if there is a temporary or short-lived error condition, the SSL-capable check fails.

Specify the destination network for this rule. Specify the destination port for this rule. You can specify a port label, or all for all ports.

Parameters

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

213

Configuration-Mode Commands

rulenum <rulenum>

Specify the rule number. The system evaluates the rules in numerical order starting with rule 1. If the conditions set in the rule match, then the rule is applied. If the conditions set in the rule do not match, then the rule is not applied and the system moves on to 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. The type of a matching rule determines which action the Steelhead appliancee takes on the connection.

description <desc> Usage

Specify a description to facilitate communication about network administration.

You can provide increased optimization by deploying two or more Steelhead appliances back-toback in an in-path configuration to create a serial cluster. Appliances in a serial cluster process the peering rules you specify in a spill-over fashion. When the maximum number of TCP connections for a Steelhead appliance is reached, that appliance stops intercepting new connections. This allows the next Steelhead appliance in the cluster the opportunity to intercept the new connection, if it has not reached its maximum number of connections. The in-path peering rules and in-path rules tell the Steelhead appliance in a cluster not to intercept connections between themselves. You configure peering rules that define what to do when a Steelhead appliance receives an autodiscovery probe from another Steelhead appliance. You can deploy serial clusters on the client or server-side of the network. Supported Models Two-appliance serial clusters are supported for all Steelhead appliance xx20 and xx50 models, except the 250 model. The Steelhead appliances must be the same model running RiOS v5.5.3 or later or RiOS v5.0.8 or later. The following Steelhead appliance models support serial clusters: 550 series, 1050 series, 2050, 5050, 6050, 1020, 2020, 3020, 3520, 5000, 5010, 5520, and 6020. These models can reach their specifications even while potentially passing through the LAN-side traffic for optimized connections for the other Steelhead appliance in the cluster. When running a RiOS software version prior to v5.5.1, models 5520, 6020, and 6120 are qualified by Riverbed for serial clusters. Important: For environments that want to optimize MAPI or FTP traffic which require all connections from a client to be optimized by one Steelhead appliance, Riverbed strongly recommends using the master and backup redundancy configuration instead of a serial cluster. For larger environments that require multi-appliance scalability and high availability, Riverbed recommends using the Interceptor to build multi-appliance clusters. For details, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide, and the Interceptor Appliance Users Guide. Notes: When you combine two Steelhead appliances that have a bandwidth limit of 20 Mbps each, the serial cluster still has a limit of 20 Mbps. If the active Steelhead appliance in the cluster enters a degraded state because the CPU load is too high, it continues to accept new connections.

Configuration-Mode Commands

in-path asymmetric routing detection enable

Description Enables asymmetric route detection. Asymmetric route detection automatically detects and reports asymmetric routing conditions and caches this information to avoid losing connectivity between a client and a server. Asymmetric routing occurs when a packet takes one path to the destination and another path when returning to the source. Asymmetric routing is common within most networks; the larger the network, the more likely there is asymmetric routing in the network. Asymmetric route auto-detection enables Steelhead appliances to detect the presence of asymmetry within the network. Asymmetry is detected by the client-side Steelhead appliances. Once detected, the Steelhead appliance passes asymmetric traffic through unoptimized, allowing the TCP connections to continue to work. The first TCP connection for a pair of addresses might be dropped because during the detection process, the Steelhead appliances have no way of knowing that the connection is asymmetric. Asymmetric routing is undesirable for many network devices including, firewalls, VPNs, and Steelhead appliances. To function properly, these devices all rely on seeing every packet. When Steelhead appliances are deployed in a network, all TCP traffic must flow through the same Steelhead appliances in the forward and reverse directions. Asymmetric route detection is enabled by default. If you disable asymmetric route detection, asymmetrically routed TCP connections break. No logging, alarms, or emails are created when this feature is disabled. Riverbed does not recommend disabling this feature. Syntax Parameters [no] in-path asymmetric routing detection {detection | pass-through} enable detection pass-through Product Enables asymmetric routing detection. Enables asymmetric routing pass through of traffic.

Usage

If asymmetric routing is detected, an entry is placed in the asymmetric routing table and any subsequent connections from that IP pair are passed through. Further connections between these hosts are not optimized until that particular asymmetric routing cache entry times out. To display the asymmetric routing table, use the following CLI command:
show in-path asym-route-tab

Configuration-Mode Commands

You can use the following tools to detect and analyze asymmetric routes: TCP Dump. Run tcpdump on the client-side Steelhead appliance to verify the packet sequence that is causing the asymmetric route detection. You can take traces on the LAN and WAN ports of the Steelhead appliance and, based on the packet maps, look for the packet sequence that is expected for the type of warning message in the log. For example to obtain information on all packets on the WAN interface, sourced from or destined to 10.0.0.1, and with a source/ destination TCP port of 80:
tcpdump -i wan0_0 host 10.0.0.1 port 80

You can use the following command to filter SYN, SYN/ACK, and reset packets. This command does not display the ACK packets but it can be useful if the link is saturated with traffic and the traces are filling quickly. The following command uses the -i parameter to specify the interface and the -w parameter to write to a file:
tcpdump -i wan1_0 'tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-syn|tcp-fin|tcp-rst) = 0' -w lookingforasymwan

Trace Route. Run the trace route tool to discover what path a packet is taking from client to server and from server to client. Access the client and run the traceroute command with the IP address of the server, and then run the traceroute command from the server with the IP address of the client. For example for a Cisco router:
#Clients Address: 10.1.0.2 .. #Servers Address: 10.0.0.4 client# traceroute 10.0.0.4 Type escape sequence to abort. Tracing the route to 10.0.0.4 1 10.1.0.1 4 msec 0 msec 4 msec 2 10.0.0.2 4 msec 4 msec 0 msec 3 10.0.0.3 4 msec 4 msec 0 msec 4 10.0.0.4 4 msec 4 msec 0 msec server# traceroute 10.1.0.2 Type escape sequence to abort.

Usage

Use this command to ensure connections are not passed-through the Steelhead appliances unoptimized but logging occurs when asymmetric routes are detected. If asymmetric routing is detected, the pair of IP addresses, defined by the client and server addresses of the connection, is cached in the asymmetric routing cache on the Steelhead appliance. Further connections between these hosts are not optimized until that particular asymmetric routing cache entry times out. The no command option disables asymmetric routing pass through.

Description Syntax Parameters Usage In PBR deployments with multiple in-path interfaces, this command enables CDP packets to be sent to the other routers when one of the routers goes down. [no] in-path cdp allow-failure enable None With PBR, CDP is used by the Steelhead appliance to notify the router that the Steelhead appliance is still alive and that the router can still redirect packets to it. In some cases, the you might want to disable this command so that if one router goes down, the Steelhead appliance stops sending CDP packets to all the routers it is attached to and connections are redirected and optimized by another Steelhead appliance. This can be useful when the routers are configured to redirect to a Steelhead appliance when all routers are up but to another Steelhead appliance when one router goes down.

in-path neighbor allow-failure

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables the Steelhead appliance to continue to optimize connections when one or more of the configured neighbors is unreachable. [no] in-path neighbor allow-failure None By default, if a Steelhead appliance loses connectivity to a connection forwarding neighbor, the Steelhead appliance stops attempting to optimize new connections. With the in-path neighbor allow-failure command enabled the Steelhead appliance continues to optimize new connections, regardless of the state of its neighbors. For virtual in-path deployments with multiple Steelhead appliances, including WCCP clusters, connection forwarding and the allow-failure feature must always be used. This is because certain events, such as network failures, and router or Steelhead appliance cluster changes, can cause routers to change the destination Steelhead appliance for TCP connection packets. When this happens, Steelhead appliances must be able to redirect traffic to each other to insure that optimization continues. For parallel physical in-path deployments, where multiple paths to the WAN are covered by different Steelhead appliances, connection forwarding is needed because packets for a TCP connection might be routed asymmetrically; that is, the packets for a connection might sometimes go through one path, and other times go through another path. The Steelhead appliances on these paths must use connection forwarding to ensure that the traffic for a TCP connection is always sent to the Steelhead appliance that is performing optimization for that connection. If the allow-failure feature is used in a parallel physical in-path deployment, Steelhead appliances only optimize those connections that are routed through the paths with operating Steelhead appliances. TCP connections that are routed across paths without Steelhead appliances (or with a failed Steelhead appliance) are detected by the asymmetric routing detection feature. For physical in-path deployments, the allow-failure feature is commonly used with the fail-toblock feature (on supported hardware). When fail-to-block is enabled, a failed Steelhead appliance blocks traffic along its path, forcing traffic to be re-routed onto other paths (where the remaining Steelhead appliances are deployed). For detailed information about configuring the allow-failure with the fail-to-block feature, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. The no command option disables this feature.

Configuration-Mode Commands

in-path neighbor enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables connection forwarding. With connection forwarding, the LAN interface forwards and receives connection forwarding packets. [no] in-path neighbor enable None 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 Steelhead appliance. 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 Steelhead appliances to communicate with each other. These Steelhead appliances are called neighbors and exchange connection information to redirect packets to each other. 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 Steelhead appliance in-path IP address, not the primary IP address. If there are more than two possible paths, additional Steelhead appliances must be installed on each path and configured as neighbors. Neighbors are notified in parallel so that the delay introduced at the connection set up is equal to the time it takes to get an acknowledgement from the furthest neighbor. When you enable connection forwarding, multiple Steelhead appliances work together and share information about what connections are optimized by each Steelhead appliance. With connection forwarding, the LAN interface forwards and receives connection forwarding packets. Steelhead appliances that are configured to use connection forwarding with each other are known as connection forwarding neighbors. If a Steelhead appliance sees a packet belonging to a connection that is optimized by a different Steelhead appliance, it forwards it to the correct Steelhead appliance. When a neighbor Steelhead appliance reaches its optimization capacity limit, that Steelhead appliance stops optimizing new connections, but continues to forward packets for TCP connections being optimized by its neighbors. You can use connection forwarding both in physical in-path deployments and in virtual in-path deployments. In physical in-path deployments, it is used between Steelhead appliances that are deployed on separate parallel paths to the WAN. In virtual in-path deployments, it is used when the redirection mechanism does not guarantee that packets for a TCP connection are always sent to the same Steelhead appliance. This includes the WCCP protocol, a commonly used virtual inpath deployment method. Typically, you want to configure physical in-path deployments that do not require connection forwarding. For example, if you have multiple paths to the WAN, you can use a Steelhead appliance model that supports multiple in-path interfaces, instead of using multiple Steelhead appliances with single in-path interfaces. In general, serial deployments are preferred over parallel deployments. For detailed information about deployment best practices, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide.

Parameters

all

Collects source and destination MAC data. Also collects data for connections that are un-natted (connections that are not translated using NAT). This option cannot be used in connection forwarding deployments. Collects destination MAC data. This option can be used in connection forwarding. Collects destination and source MAC data. This option can be used in connection forwarding. Simplified routing entries are only used when a packet is sent to the in-path default gateway. This option enables you to override any simplified routing learning by putting in static routes. Disables all options.

dest-only dest-source mac-def-gwonly none Usage

Without simplified routing, if a Steelhead appliance 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 Steelhead appliance. However, in some cases, even with static routes defined, the ACL on the default gateway can still drop traffic that should have gone through the other router. Enabling simplified routing eliminates this issue. Simplified routing has the following constraints: Broadcast support in PFS configurations cannot be enabled. WCCP cannot be enabled. The default route must exist on each Steelhead appliance in your network. Simplified routing requires a client-side and server-side Steelhead appliance. Optionally, you can also enable automatic peering. When you enable simplified routing, Riverbed recommends that you also enable automatic peering because it gives the Steelhead appliance more information to associate IP addresses and MAC addresses (and potentially VLAN tags). For more information, see in-path peering auto on page 210. The no command option disables simplified routing.

Configuration-Mode Commands

ip flow-export
Description Configures NetFlow support. NetFlow enables you to collect traffic flow data and gather it on NetFlow collectors. You can gather pre-optimization and post-optimization data on traffic flows for the Top Talker and custom reports. The Top Talkers are the hosts, applications, and host and application pairs that are either sending or receiving the most data on the network. NetFlow enables you to export network statistics that provide information about network data flows such as peak usage times, traffic accounting, security, and traffic routing. This data is sent to a NetFlow collector and analyzed by a NetFlow analyzer. Steelhead appliances support NetFlow v5 (the most common format). Syntax [no] ip flow-export {destination <collector ip> <collector port> [export-port {aux | primary} | [interface {primary |wan1_1 | lan1_1 | wan1_0 | lan1_0}] || [lan-addrs {off | on}] | [fakeindex {off | on}]} destination <collector ip> <collector port> export-port {aux | primary} interface {primary |wan1_1 | lan1_1 | wan1_0 | lan1_0} lan-addrs {off | on} Specify the export IP address and port the NetFlow collector is listening on. The default value is 2055. Specify the interface used to send NetFlow packets to the collector. Specify the interface used to capture packets. NetFlow records sent from the Steelhead appliance appear to be sent from the IP address of the selected interface. Specify whether the TCP IP addresses and ports reported for optimized flows should contain the original client and server IP addresses and not those of the Steelhead appliance: off displays the Steelhead appliance information; on displays the LAN address information. The default is to display the IP addresses of the original client and server without the IP address of the Steelhead appliances.

Parameters

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

Before you enable NetFlow support in your network, you should consider the following: Generating NetFlow data can utilize large amounts of bandwidth, especially on low bandwidth links, thereby impacting Steelhead appliance performance. You can reduce the amount of data exported by NetFlow if you export only optimized traffic. NetFlow only tracks incoming packets (ingress). To troubleshoot your NetFlow settings: Make sure the port configuration on the Steelhead appliance and the listening port of the collector match. Ensure that you can reach the collectors from the Steelhead appliance (for example, ping X.X.X.X where X.X.X.X is the NetFlow collector). Verify that your capture settings are on the correct interface and that traffic is flowing through it:
amnesiac (config) amnesiac (config) capture optimized amnesiac (config) primary amnesiac (config) amnesiac (config) # ip flow-export enable # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 interface wan0_0 # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 export-port # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 lan-addrs on # show ip flow-export

For WCCP or PBR virtual in-path deployments, because the traffic is arriving and leaving from the same WAN interface, when the Steelhead appliance exports data to a NetFlow collector, all traffic has the WAN interface index. This is the correct behavior because the input interface is the same as the output interface. To troubleshoot your NetFlow settings: Make sure the port configuration matches on the Steelhead appliance and the listening port of the collector. Ensure that you can reach the collector from the Steelhead appliance (for example, ping 1.1.1.1 where 1.1.1.1 is the Netflow collector). Verify that your capture settings are on the correct interface and that traffic is flowing through it. Example
amnesiac (config) # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 interface lan0_0 capture all amnesiac (config) # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 export-port aux amnesiac (config) # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 lan-addrs off

NetFlow records information for each incoming packet on the specified network interface (the ingress interface). This data is sent to a NetFlow collector and analyzed by a NetFlow analyzer. Steelhead appliances support NetFlow v5 (the most common format). Syntax Parameters Usage [no] ip flow-export enable None Before you enable NetFlow support in your network, you should consider the following: Generating NetFlow data can utilize large amounts of bandwidth, especially on low bandwidth links, thereby impacting Steelhead appliance performance. You can reduce the amount of data exported by NetFlow by exporting only optimized traffic. NetFlow only tracks incoming packets (ingress). To troubleshoot your NetFlow settings: Make sure the port configuration matches on the Steelhead appliance and the listening port of the collector. Ensure that you can reach the collectors from the Steelhead appliance (for example, ping X.X.X.X where X.X.X.X is the NetFlow collector). Verify that your capture settings are on the correct interface and that traffic is flowing through it:
amnesiac (config) amnesiac (config) capture optimized amnesiac (config) primary amnesiac (config) amnesiac (config) # ip flow-export enable # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 interface wan0_0 # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 export-port # ip flow-export destination 10.2.2.2 2055 lan-addrs on # show ip flow-export

For virtual in-path deployments (WCCP or PBR), because the traffic is arriving and leaving from the same WAN interface, when the Steelhead appliance exports data to a NetFlow collector, all traffic has the WAN interface index. This is the correct behavior because the input interface is the same as the output interface. To distinguish between LAN-to-WAN and WAN-to-LAN traffic in virtual in-path deployments, see the fakeindex parameter in ip flow-export on page 232 or the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guidee. The no command option disables NetFlow support. Example Product Related Topics

Usage

Enabling IPSec support makes it difficult for a third party to view your data or pose as a machine you expect to receive data from. You must also specify a shared secret to enable IPSec support. To create a shared secret see, ip security shared secret. To enable IPSec authentication, you must have at least one encryption and authentication algorithm specified. You must set IPSec support on each Steelhead appliance with which you want to establish a secure connection. If you NAT traffic between Steelhead appliances, you cannot use the IPSec channel between the appliances because the NAT changes the packet headers, causing IPSec to reject them. The no command option disables encryption and authentication support.

Configuration-Mode Commands

pfs enable
Description PFS is an integrated virtual file server that allows you to store copies of files on the Steelhead appliance with Windows file access, creating several options for transmitting data between remote offices and centralized locations with improved performance. Data is configured into file shares and the shares are periodically synchronized transparently in the background, over the optimized connection of the Steelhead appliance. PFS leverages the integrated disk capacity of the Steelhead appliance to store file-based data in a format that allows it to be retrieved by NAS clients. PFS is supported only on models 520, 550, 1010, 1020, 1050, 1520, 2020, 2050, 3010, 3020, 3520, 5010, 5050, and 6050. For detailed information about PFS, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Syntax Parameters Usage [no] pfs enable None In RiOS v3.x or higher, you do not need to install the RCU service on the server to synchronize shares. RCU functionality has been moved to the Steelhead appliance. When you upgrade from v2.x to v3.x, your existing shares will be running as v2.x shares. PFS is not appropriate for all network environments. For example, in a collaborative work environment when there are many users reading, writing, and updating a common set of files and records, you should consider not enabling PFS. For detailed information about whether PFS is appropriate for your network environment, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. Before you enable PFS, configure the Steelhead appliance to use NTP to synchronize the time. To use PFS, the Steelhead appliance and DC clocks must be synchronized. The PFS Steelhead appliance must run the same version of the Steelhead appliance software as the server side Steelhead appliance. PFS traffic to and from the Steelhead appliance travels through the Primary interface. PFS requires that the Primary interface is connected to the same switch as the LAN interface. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide. The PFS share and origin-server share names cannot contain Unicode characters. Note: Using PFS can reduce the overall connection capacity for optimized TCP connections, as memory and CPU resources are diverted to support the PFS operation. The no command option disables PFS support. Example Product Related Topics

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

mode [broadcast | local | standalone]

Specify the mode of file sharing: Broadcast. Use Broadcast mode for environments seeking to broadcast a set of read-only files to many users at different sites. Broadcast mode quickly transmits a read-only copy of the files from the origin server to your remote offices. The PFS share on the Steelhead appliance contains read-only copies of files on the origin server. The PFS share is synchronized from the origin server according to parameters you specify. However, files deleted on the origin server are not deleted on the Steelhead appliance until you perform a full synchronization. Additionally, if, on the origin server, you perform directory moves (for example, move .\dir1\dir2 .\dir3\dir2) regularly, incremental synchronization will not reflect these directory changes. You must perform a full synchronization frequently to keep the PFS shares in synchronization with the origin server. Local. Use Local mode for environments that need to efficiently and transparently copy data created at a remote site to a central data center, perhaps where tape archival resources are available to back up the data. Local mode enables read-write access at remote offices to update files on the origin file server. After the PFS share on the Steelhead appliance receives the initial copy from the origin server, the PFS share copy of the data becomes the master copy. New data generated by clients is synchronized from the Steelhead appliance copy to the origin server based on parameters you specify when you configure the share. The folder on the origin server essentially becomes a back-up folder of the share on the Steelhead appliance. If you use Local mode, users must not directly write to the corresponding folder on the origin server. Caution: In Local mode, the Steelhead appliance 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. Important: Riverbed recommends that you do not use Windows file shortcuts if you use PFS. For detailed information, contact Riverbed Technical Support at https://support.riverbed.com. Stand-Alone. Use Stand-Alone mode for network environments where it is more effective to maintain a separate copy of files that are accessed locally by the clients at the remote site. The PFS share also creates additional storage space. The PFS share on the Steelhead appliance is 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. Users at the branch office can read from or write to stand-alone shares but there is no synchronization back to the origin server since a stand-alone share is an initial and one-time only synchronization. Note: When you configure a v3.x Local mode share or any v2.x share (except a Stand-Alone share in which you do not specify a remote path to a directory on the origin server), a text file (._rbt_share_lock. txt) that keeps track of which Steelhead appliance owns the share is created on the origin server. Do not remove this file. If you remove the._rbt_share_lock. txt file on the origin file server, PFS will not function properly (v3.x or higher). Broadcast and Stand-Alone shares do not create this text file.

remote-path <remote path> server-account <login> server-password <password>

Specify, using UNC format, the path to the data on the origin server that you want to make available to PFS. Specify the login and password to be used to access the shares folder on the origin file server. The login must be a member of the Administrators group on the origin server, either locally on the file server (the local Administrators group) or globally in the domain (the Domain Administrator group).

Configuration-Mode Commands

interval <seconds>

Specify the interval that you want incremental synchronization to occur. The first synchronization, or the initial copy, retrieves data from origin file server and copies it to the local disk on the Steelhead appliance. Subsequent synchronizations are based on the synchronization interval. In incremental synchronization, only new and changed data are sent between the proxy file server and the origin file server. Specify the frequency of updates (full synchronization) in minutes. In full synchronization, a full directory comparison is performed and all changes since the last full synchronization are sent between the proxy file server and the origin file server. Use full synchronization if performance is not an issue. Specify the date and time to commence initial synchronization. Specify the start time for full synchronization.

For v3.x (or higher) PFS shares, you do not need to install the RCU service on a Windows server. Make sure the server-account you specify is a member of the Administrators group on the origin server, either locally on the file server (the local Administrators group) or globally in the domain (the Domain Administrator group). PFS is supported only on models 520, 550, 1010, 1020, 1050, 1520, 2020, 2050, 3010, 3020, 3520, 5010, 5050, and 6050.

Usage

Riverbed strongly recommends that you upgrade your shares to v3.x shares. If you upgrade any v2.x shares, you must upgrade all of them. After you have upgraded shares to v3.x, you should only create v3.x shares. By default, when you configure PFS shares with Steelhead appliance software v3.x and higher, you create v3.x PFS shares. PFS shares configured with Steelhead appliance software v2.x are v2.x shares. Version 2.x shares are not upgraded when you upgrade Steelhead appliance software. If you do not upgrade your v.2.x shares: You should not create v3.x shares. You must install and start the RCU on the origin server or on a separate Windows host with write-access to the data PFS uses. The account that starts the RCU must have write permissions to the folder on the origin file server that contains the data PFS uses. You can download the RCU from the Riverbed Technical Support site at https://support.riverbed.com. For detailed information, see the Riverbed Copy Utility Reference Manual. Make sure the account that starts the RCU has permissions to the folder on the origin file server and is a member 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). In Steelhead appliance software version 3.x and higher, you do not need to install the RCU service on the server for synchronization purposes. All RCU functionality has been moved to the Steelhead appliance. You must configure domain, not workgroup, settings, using the domain join command. Domain mode supports v2.x PFS shares but Local Workgroup mode is supported only in v3.x (or higher). PFS is supported only on models 520, 550, 1010, 1020, 1050, 1520, 2020, 2050, 3010, 3020, 3520, 5010, 5050, and 6050.

Usage

Riverbed strongly recommends that you upgrade your shares to v3.x shares. If you upgrade any v2.x shares, you must upgrade all of them. After you have upgraded shares to v3.x, you should only create v3.x shares. By default, when you configure PFS shares with Steelhead appliance software v3.x and higher, you create v3.x PFS shares. PFS shares configured with Steelhead appliance software v2.x are v2.x shares. Version 2.x shares are not upgraded when you upgrade Steelhead appliance software. If you do not upgrade your v.2.x shares: Do not create v3.x shares. You must install and start the RCU on the origin server or on a separate Windows host with write-access to the data PFS uses. The account that starts the RCU must have write permissions to the folder on the origin file server that contains the data PFS uses. You can download the RCU from the Riverbed Technical Support site at https://support.riverbed.com. For detailed information, see the Riverbed Copy Utility Reference Manual. Make sure the account that starts the RCU has permissions to the folder on the origin file server and is a member 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). In Steelhead appliance software version 3.x and higher, you do not need to install the RCU service on the server for synchronization purposes. All RCU functionality has been moved to the Steelhead appliance. You must configure domain, not workgroup, settings, using the domain join command. Domain mode supports v2.x PFS shares but Local Workgroup mode is supported only in v3.x (or higher). PFS is supported only on models 520, 550, 1010, 1020, 1050, 1520, 2020, 2050, 3010, 3020, 3520, 5010, 5050, and 6050.

CIFS Prepopulation Support Commands

This section describes the CIFS prepopulation support commands.

prepop enable
Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables the CIFS prepopulation feature. [no] prepop enable None The prepopulation operation effectively performs the first Steelhead read of the data on the prepopulation share. Subsequently, the Steelhead appliance handles read and write requests as effectively as with a warm data transfer. With warm transfers, only new or modified data is sent, dramatically increasing the rate of data transfer over the WAN. Note: Riverbed does not support prepopulation with Windows Domain Controller servers with SMB signing set to Required. If your network environment requires SMB signing, use the RCU to prepopulate your shares. You can obtain the RCU from the Riverbed Technical Support site at https://support.riverbed.com. The no command option disables the prepopulation feature.

CIFS traffic with SMB signing enabled.

[no] protocol cifs applock enable None Enables CIFS latency optimizations to improve read and write performance for Microsoft Office and Excel. By default, this setting is off. This feature enhances and overrides the enable overlapping opens feature by identifying and obtaining locks on read write access at the application level. The overlapping open optimization feature handles locks at the file level. Note: Enable the applock optimization feature on the client-side Steelhead appliance.

Usage

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 back-log of write messages; it does not have a negative effect under normal network conditions. The no command option disables the dynamic throttling mechanism.

protocol cifs disable write optimization

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Disables CIFS write optimization. [no] protocol cifs disable write optimization None Disable write optimization only if you have applications that assume and require write-through in the network. If you disable write optimization, the Steelhead appliance 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 Steelhead appliance. If you do not disable write-through, the Steelhead appliance acknowledges writes before they are fully committed to disk, to speed up the write operation. The Steelhead appliance does not acknowledge the file close until the file is safely written. The no command option enables CIFS write optimization. Example Product Related Topics

protocol cifs oopen enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables CIFS overlapping opens. [no] protocol cifs oopen enable None Enable overlapping opens to obtain better performance with applications that perform multiple opens on the same file (for example, CAD applications). By default, this setting is disabled. With overlapping opens enabled the Steelhead appliance optimizes data where exclusive access is available (in other words, when locks are granted). When an oplock is not available, the Steelhead appliance does not perform application-level latency optimizations but still performs SDR and compression on the data as well as TCP optimizations. Note: If a remote user opens a file that 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.x or later Steelhead appliance or if it does not go through a Steelhead appliance (for example, certain applications that are sent over the LAN). If this occurs, you should disable overlapping opens for those applications. You can configure an include list or exclude list of file types subject to overlapping opens optimization with the protocol cifs oopen extension on page 257. The no command option disables CIFS overlapping opens.

[modify <ext> setting <policy> <cr>] Modifies the policy setting for the specified file extension: allow. Allows overlapping opens to enable better performance. deny. Denies overlapping opens on the specified file extension. remove <ext> <cr> Usage Removes a file extension from the special case list (that is, do not optimize the specified file extension)

Parameters

Enable overlapping opens to obtain better performance with applications that perform multiple opens on the same file. With overlapping opens enabled, the Steelhead appliance optimizes data to which exclusive access is available (in other words, when locks are granted). When an oplock is not available, the Steelhead appliance does not perform application-level latency optimization but still performs SDR and compression on the data, as well as TCP optimizations. If you do not enable this feature, the Steelhead appliance still increases WAN performance, but not as effectively. Enabling this feature on applications that perform multiple opens on the same file to complete an operation (for example, CAD applications) results in a performance improvement. You specify a list of extensions you want to optimize using overlapping opens. You can also use this command to specify a list of extensions you do not want to optimize using overlapping opens. If a remote user opens a file which is optimized using the overlapping opens feature and a second user opens the same file, the second user might receive an error if the file fails to go through a v3.x Steelhead appliance or if it does not go through a Steelhead appliance at all (for example, certain applications that are sent over the LAN). If this occurs, you should disable overlapping opens for those applications.

protocol cifs secure-sig-opt enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables Security Signature negotiations between Windows client and the server. [no] protocol cifs secure-sig-opt enable None The Secure-CIFS feature automatically stops Windows SMB signing. SMB signing prevents the appliance from applying full optimization on CIFS connections and significantly reduces the performance gain from a Steelhead 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 Steelhead 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 the server connect but you cannot perform full latency optimization with the Steelhead appliance. Domain controllers default to Required. For detailed information about disabling Windows security signing, see the Steelhead Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide. If your deployment requires SMB signing, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide for detailed procedures, including procedures for Windows. The no command option enables Security Signature negotiations. Example Product Related Topics

[no] protocol cifs smbv1-mode enable None Improves SMB optimization for Windows Vista users. Select to perform latency and SDR optimizations on SMB traffic on the client-side Steelhead appliance. Without this feature, Steelhead appliances perform only SDR optimization without improving CIFS latency. This feature enables SMBv1 for Vista-to-Vista CIFS connections instead of SMBv2 (similar to Vista to pre-Vista CIFS connections). While the Steelhead appliances are fully compatible with the SMBv2 included in Vista, they deliver the best performance using SMBv1. Important: You must restart the client Steelhead service after enabling the SMBv1 Backward Compatibility Mode. To enable SDR and CIFS latency optimization on SMB traffic in a Windows Vista environment, perform the following steps on the client-side Steelhead appliance: 1. Run the following command:

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

When sharing files, Windows provides the ability to sign CIFS messages to prevent man-in-themiddle attacks. Each CIFS message has a unique signature which prevents the message from being tampered. This security feature is called SMB signing. Prior to the v5.5 release, RiOS did not provide latency optimization for signed traffic. For detailed information about configuring SMB signing, including the necessary steps for Windows, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. You can enable the RiOS SMB signing feature on a server-side Steelhead appliance to alleviate latency in file access with CIFS acceleration while maintaining message security signatures. With SMB signing on, the Steelhead appliance optimizes CIFS traffic by providing bandwidth optimizations (SDR and LZ), TCP optimizations, and CIFS latency optimizationseven when the CIFS messages are signed. By default, RiOS SMB signing is disabled. The RiOS v5.5 SMB signing feature works with Windows 2003 domain security and is fullycompliant with the Microsoft SMB-signing v1 protocol. The server-side Steelhead appliance in the path of the signed CIFS traffic becomes part of the Windows trust domain. The Windows domain is either the same as the domain of the user or has a trust relationship with the domain of the user. The trust relationship can be either a parent-child relationship or an unrelated trust relationship. Important: This feature works with Windows 2003 native mode domains only. The RiOS SMB-signing feature uses Kerberos between the server-side Steelhead appliance and any configured servers participating in the signed session. The client-side Steelhead appliance uses NTLM and will negotiate down to NTLM from Kerberos if supported. The client-side Steelhead appliance does not use Kerberos. Prerequisites With RiOS SMB-signing enabled, Steelhead appliances sign the traffic between the client and the client-side Steelhead appliance and between the server and the server-side Steelhead appliance. The traffic is not signed between the Steelhead appliances, but the Steelheads implement their own integrity mechanisms. For maximum security, Riverbed recommends that you use IPsec encryption to secure the traffic between the Steelhead appliances. RiOS SMB signing requires joining a Windows 2003 domain. Setting the correct time zone is vital for joining a domain. The most common reason for failing to join a domain is a significant difference in the system time on the Windows domain controller and the Steelhead appliance. Basic Steps 1. Verify that the Windows domain functionality is at the Windows 2003 level. For detailed information about configuring SMB signing, including the necessary steps for Windows, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. 2. Identify the full domain name, which must be the same as DNS. You need to specify this name when you join the server-side Steelhead appliance to the domain. 3. Identify the short (NetBIOS) domain name (press Ctrl+Alt+Del on any member server). You need to specify the short name when the Steelhead appliance joins the domain if it does not match the left-most portion of the fully-qualified domain name. 4. Make sure that the primary or auxiliary interface for the server-side Steelhead appliance is routable to the DNS and the Domain Controller. 5. Verify the DNS settings: You must be able to ping the server-side Steelhead appliance, by name, from a CIFS server joined to the same domain that the server-side Steelhead appliance will join. If you cannot, create an entry in the DNS server for the server-side Steelhead appliance. You must be able to ping the Domain Controller, by name, whose domain the server-side Steelhead appliance will join. To verify your domain run the show domain, and show dns settings.

6. Join the Windows domain running in native mode. RiOS SMB-signing does not support Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows 2008 domains. For detailed information about joining domains, see domain join on page 366. 7. Set up the Domain Controller and SPN. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. 8. Grant the user access to delegate CIFS service in Windows. You must perform the following procedure for every server on which you want to enable RiOS SMB signing. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. 9. Add delegate users on the Steelhead appliance. 10.Enable SMB signing on the server-side Steelhead appliances.

tcpdump-x foreground
Description Syntax Parameters Displays packets on a network. [no] tcpdump-x foreground <cr> | <tcpdump options> <tcpdump options> The tcpdump command takes the standard Linux options: -a. Attempt to convert network and broadcast addresses to names. -c. Exit after receiving count packets. -d. Dump the compiled packet-matching code in a human readable form to standard output and stop. -dd. Dump packet-matching code as a C program fragment. -ddd. Dump packet-matching code as decimal numbers (preceded with a count). -e. Print the link-level header on each dump line. -E. Use algo:secret for decrypting IPsec ESP packets. -f. Print foreign internet addresses numerically rather than symbolically. -F. Use file as input for the filter expression. An additional expression given on the command line is ignored. -i. Listen on interface. If unspecified, tcpdump searches the system interface list for the lowest numbered, configured up interface. -n. Do not convert addresses (such as host addresses, port numbers, and so forth) to names. -N. Do not print domain name qualification of hostnames. For example, if you specify this flag, then tcpdump will print nic instead of nic.ddn.mil. -m. Load SMI MIB module definitions from file module. This option can be used several times to load several MIB modules into tcpdump. -q. Quiet output. Print less protocol information so output lines are shorter. -r Read packets from file (which was created with the -w option). Standard input is used if file is -. -S. Print absolute, not relative, TCP sequence numbers. -v. (Slightly more) verbose output. For example, the time to live, identification, total length and options in an IP packet are printed. Also enables additional packet integrity checks such as verifying the IP and ICMP header checksum. -w. Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed with the -r option. Standard output is used if file is -. -x. Print each packet (minus its link level header) in hex. The smaller of the entire packet or snaplen bytes will be printed. -X. When printing hex, print ascii too. Thus if -x is also set, the packet is printed in hex/ascii. This option enables you to analyze new protocols. For detailed information, see the Linux man page. Example Product Related Topics

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

267

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

To configure your WAN buffer you must increase the WAN buffers to 2 BDP or 10 MB. You can calculate the BDP WAN buffer size. For example: Bandwidth = 155000000 Mbps Delay = 100 ms For a link of 155 Mbps and 100 ms round-trip delay, set the WAN buffers to
2 * 155000000 * 0.1 / 8 = 3875000

To calculate the BDP for a link

bandwidth * delay / 8 / MTU = X

If X is greater than 100 then HS-TCP is useful in this instance. The no command option resets the buffer size to the default. Example Product Related Topics

tcp highspeed enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables the HS-TCP feature, which provides acceleration and high throughput for high bandwidth networks where the WAN pipe is large but latency is high. [no] tcp highspeed enable None HS-TCP is activated for all connections that have a BDP larger than 100 packets. If you have a BDP of greater than 512 KB, and you are more interested in filling the WAN pipe than saving bandwidth, you should consider enabling HS-TCP. You need to carefully evaluate whether HS-TCP will benefit your network environment. To enable HS-TCP, you must disable LZ compression and SDR. If you have an Optical Carrier-3 line or faster, turning off SDR makes sense and allows HS-TCP to reach its full potential. To configure HS-TCP enable HS-TCP. disable LZ compression and SDR in the optimization policies if your WAN link capacity is 100 Mbps. enable in-path support. increase the WAN buffers to 2 BDP or 10 MB. You can calculate the BDP WAN buffer size. increase the LAN buffers to 1 MB. To calculate the BDP WAN buffer size.: Bandwidth = 155000000 Mbps Delay = 100 ms For a link of 155 Mbps and 100 ms round-trip delay, the WAN buffers should be set to
2 * 155000000 * 0.1 / 8 = 3875000

To calculate the BDP for a link:

bandwidth * delay / 8 / MTU = X

If X is greater than 100 then HS-TCP is useful in this instance. The no command option disables HS-TCP. Example

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

Sharing calendars between Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 increases the number of connections (anywhere from 1 to 2 extra connections per each user sharing calendars). The connections are persistent and remain even when users are not actively checking other users calendars. Enabling this option helps keep connection counts at sustained, low levels, thereby increasing optimization. Important: In contrast to Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 uses encrypted communication with the Exchange server by default, regardless of the Exchange Server Version (Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007). Leaving encryption on will disable MAPI optimizations. You must disable encryption on the Exchange (Outlook) 2007 clients before enabling this option. Note: You can apply a group policy to disable encryption for the Outlook 2007 clients on a wider scale. If you have Outlook 2007, regardless of the Exchange Server version (Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007), communication is encrypted by default. To enable optimization to take place, you must perform the following steps: 1. Make sure you are running v3.0.8 or higher of the Steelhead software. If you are not, you must upgrade your software. For details, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. 2. Disable encryption on the Exchange (Outlook) 2007 clients. For information, refer to your Microsoft documentation. 3. At the Steelhead appliance CLI system prompt, enter the following command:
protocol mapi 2k7 native enable

For details on disabling encryption, see https://support.riverbed.com/kb/solution.htm?id=501700000008VT8AAM. The no command option disables fallback. Optimization does not occur if you specify the no command option. Example Product Related Topics

Usage

In certain situations (for example, clients connecting through a firewall), you might want to force a server to listen on a single pre-defined port so that access to ports can be controlled or locked down on the firewall. In out-of-path deployments, if you want to optimize MAPI Exchange by destination port, you must define in-path rules that specify the following ports on the client-side Steelhead appliance: Port 135. The Microsoft end-point mapper port. Port 7830. The Steelhead appliance port used for Exchange traffic. Port 7840. The Steelhead appliance port used for Exchange Directory NSPI traffic. If you changed the Microsoft Exchange Information Store Interface port in your environment, change port 7830 to the static port number you have configured in your Exchange environment. For further information, see Microsoft Exchange Information Store Interface at http:// support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;270836. The no command option resets the NSPI port to the default value.

Usage

This feature allows email data to be delivered between the Exchange server and the client-side appliance while the Outlook client is off-line. When a user logs into their MAPI client, the mail has already been seen by the client-side appliance and can be retrieved with LAN-like performance. This feature enables email to be optimized even though it has not been seen before by the client. The no command option disables MAPI prepopulation support. If you specify the no option and parameters, you do not disable MAPI prepopulation support; you reset the specified parameter to its default value.

Configuration-Mode Commands

protocol http add-cookie

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Adds a cookie so that the Steelhead appliance can track requests from the same client. [no] protocol http add-cookie <extension> <extension> Specify the type of extension.

Use this command if your application does not have a cookie. HTTP applications frequently use cookies to keep track of sessions. The Steelhead appliance uses cookies to distinguish one user session from another. If an HTTP application does not use cookies, the client Steelhead appliance inserts one so that it can track requests from the same client. Your system must support cookies and persistent connections to benefit from URL Learning. If your system has cookies turned off and depends on URL rewriting for HTTP state management, or is using HTTP v1.0 (with no keep-alives), you can force the use of cookies using this command option and force the use of persistent connections using the keep-alive option. For details about the keep alive option, see protocol http insrt-keep-aliv on page 292. The no command option removes the extension type from the cache.

Configuration-Mode Commands

protocol http enable

Description Enables HTTP acceleration, which prefetches and caches objects embedded in Web pages to improve HTTP traffic performance. Enabling HTTP module support optimizes traffic to or from port 80. HTTP optimization works for all HTTP and HTTPS applications, including SAP, Customer Relationship Management, Enterprise Resource Planning, Financials, Document Management, and Intranet portals. Syntax Parameters Usage [no] protocol http enable None A typical Web page is not a single file that is downloaded all at once. Instead, Web pages are composed of dozens of separate objectsincluding .jpg and .gif images, JavaScript code, cascading style sheets, and moreeach of which must be requested and retrieved separately, one after the other. This behavior is highly detrimental to the performance of Web-based applications over the WAN given the presence of latency. The Steelhead appliance includes a specialized learning algorithm that allows it to learn which objects are typically requested for specific Web pages and perform object parsing and prefetching. HTTP optimization works with most Web servers that require NTLM authentication. NTLM is a Microsoft authentication protocol which employs a challenge-response mechanism for authentication, in which clients are required to prove their identities without sending a password to a server. NTLM requires the transmission of three messages between the client (wanting to authenticate) and the server (requesting authentication). The following situations might effect HTTP optimization: Fat Client. Not all applications accessed through a Web browser utilize the HTTP protocol. This is especially true for fat clients that run inside a Web browser which may use proprietary protocols to communicate with a server. HTTP optimization does not improve performance in such cases. Digest for Authentication. Some Web servers might require users to authenticate themselves before allowing them access to certain Web content. Digest authentication is one of the less popular authentication schemes, although it is still supported by most Web servers and browsers. Digest authentication requires the browser to include a secret value which only the browser and server know how to generate and decode. Because the Steelhead appliance cannot generate these secret values, it cannot prefetch objects protected by Digest Authentication and does not improve performance for applications using this authentication scheme. Referer Field. The HTTP protocol supports a Referer header field, which allows a browser to provide a hint to the Web server about the URL of the page that referred to the page or object being requested. The Steelhead appliance uses the information in this header to generate relationships between object requests and the base HTML page that referenced them. Object Authentication. It is uncommon for Web servers to require separate authentication for each object requested by the client, but occasionally Web servers are configured to use per object authentication. In such cases, the HTTP optimization does not improve HTTP performance. Note: HTTP optimization has been tested on the following browsers: Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, Firefox 1.0 or later, and Netscape Communicator 6.2. HTTP optimization has been tested on the following servers: Apache 1.3, Apache 2.2, Microsoft IIS 5.0, and Microsoft IIS 6.0. For detailed information about HTTP optimization features, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. The no command option disables HTTP module support.

Specify to parse an HTML page received from the server and generate prefetched transactions on-the-fly, or revalidate the objects in the page. This option is useful for dynamically generated pages where the embedded objects change based on context. When the browser requests an embedded object, the Steelhead appliance serves the request from the prefetched results, eliminating the round-trip delay to the server. When enabled, the appliance prefetches the objects contained in the base HTML page.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

Lotus Notes is a client-server collaborative application that provides email, instant messaging, calendar, resource, and file sharing. RiOS provides latency and bandwidth optimization for Lotus Notes v6.0 and later traffic across the WAN, accelerating email attachment transfers and server-toserver or client-to-server replications. RiOS saves bandwidth by automatically disabling socket compression (which makes SDR more effective), and by decompressing the Huffman-compressed attachments when they are sent or received and recompressing them on the other side. This allows SDR to recognize attachments which have previously been sent in other ways (that is, over CIFS or HTTP), and also allows SDR to optimize the sending and receiving of attachments that are slightly changed from previous sends and receives. This feature provides latency optimization regardless of the compression type (Huffman, LZ, or none), and provides additional bandwidth reductions with Huffman compression when sending and receiving attachments. To use this feature both the client-side and server-side Steelhead appliances must be running RiOS v5.5.x or later. Before enabling Lotus Notes optimization: Turn off port-level encryption: From the Lotus Notes client, select File - User Preferences - Ports - TCP/IP and clear the Encrypt Network Data check box. To change the server configuration, from the Lotus Notes administrative client, select Server Port - Setup, clear the Encrypt network data check box, and restart the server. Enabling this feature automatically turns off socket level compression for connections that go through the Steelhead appliances. The no command option disables this feature.

protocol ssl bulk-import

Description Syntax Parameters Import SSL configuration, keys, and certificates. protocol ssl bulk-import password <password> data <data> password <password> data <data> Usage Specify a password required to decrypt data. Specify a file that contains previously exported data.

Use the bulk export and import feature to expedite configuring backup and peer trust relationships: The bulk data that you import contains the serial number of the exporting Steelhead appliance. The Steelhead appliance importing the data compares its own serial number with the serial number contained in the bulk data. The following rules apply to bulk data when importing and exporting the data: Peering Certificate and Key Data. If the serial numbers match, the Steelhead appliance importing the bulk data overwrites its existing peering certificates and keys with that bulk data. If the serial numbers do not match, the Steelhead appliance importing the bulk data does not overwrite its peering certificate and key. Certificate Authority, Peering Trust, and SSL Server Configuration Data. For all other configuration data such as certificate authorities, peering trusts, and server configurations (if included), if there is a conflict, the imported configuration data take precedence, (that is, the imported configuration data will overwrite any existing configurations). Note: Bulk importing of data cannot delete configurations; it only adds or overwrites them. For example, if you have two servers: 1.1.1.1:443 (enabled) and 2.2.2.2:443 (disabled), the bulk data contains three servers: 1.1.1.1:443 (disabled), 2.2.2.2:443 (disabled), and 3.3.3.3:443 (enabled). After performing a bulk import of the data, there are now three servers: 1.1.1.1:443 (disabled), 2.2.2.2:443 (disabled), and 3.3.3.3:443 (enabled). The certificates and keys of servers 1.1.1.1:443 and 2.2.2.2:443 have been overwritten with those contained in the bulk data.

protocol ssl crl ca

Description Syntax Parameters Configures CRL for an automatically discovered CAs. You can update automatically discovered CRLs using this command. [no] protocol ssl crl ca <ca name> cdp <integer> ldap server <IP addr or hostname> | crl-attrname <attr-name> | port <port> <ca name> cdp <integer> Specify the name of a SSL CA certificate. Specify an integer index. Index of a Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) in a CA certificate. The no protocol ssl crl ca * cdp *command option removes the update. ldap server <IP addr or hostname> crl-attr-name <attr-name> port <port> Usage Specify the LDAP server IP address or hostname to modify a CDP URI.

Optionally, specify the attribute name of CRL in a LDAP entry. Optionally, specify the LDAP service port.

Enabling CRL allows the CA to revoke a certificate. For example, when the private key of the certificate has been compromised, the CA can issue a CRL that revokes the certificate. A CRL includes any digital certificates that have been invalidated before their expiration date, including the reasons for their revocation and the names of the issuing certificate signing authorities. A CRL prevents the use of digital certificates and signatures that have been compromised. The certificate authorities that issue the original certificates create and maintain the CRLs. To clear the CRL alarm, execute the no stats alarm crl_error enable command.

Description Syntax Parameters Adds a Certificate Authority (CA) to the local collection. [no] protocol ssl ca cert <certificate> local-name <local-name> cert <certificate> local-name <local-name> Usage Paste the text of a CA certificate in PEM format. Specify a name to identify the certificate in the local collection.

A CA is a third-party entity in a network which issues digital certificates and manages security credentials and public keys for message encryption. A CA issues a public key certificate which states that the CA attests that the public key contained in the certificate belongs to the person, organization, server, or other entity noted in the certificate. The CA verifies applicant credentials, so that relying parties can trust the information in the CA certificates. If you trust the CA and can verify the CA signature, then you can also verify that a certain public key does indeed belong to whomever is identified in the certificate. You might need to add a new CA in the following situations: Your organization has an internal CA that signs the certificates or peering certificates for the backend server. The server certificates are signed by an intermediate or root CA unknown to the Steelhead appliance (perhaps external to the organization). The CA certificate included in the trusted list of the Steelhead appliance has expired or has been revoked and needs replacing.

Steelhead appliance show protocol ssl

protocol ssl enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables SSL optimization, which accelerates encrypted traffic on secure ports (https). This command can only be used after you have generated or imported a server. [no] protocol ssl enable None To configure SSL support, you do not make configuration changes on the client and the server clients continue connecting to the same server name or IP address. The Steelhead appliances are configured to have a trust relationship, so they can exchange information securely over an SSL connection. (Each client uses unchanged server addresses and each server uses unchanged client addresses; no application changes or explicit proxy configuration is required.) The server-side Steelhead appliance handles SSL handshakes on behalf of the server, yet makes itself appear to the client as if it were the actual server. The server-side Steelhead appliance is configured with a legitimate certificate and private key just as the one (not necessarily the same one) used by the back-end Web server. Intercepting a new SSL connection from a client (for example, the browser), the server-side Steelhead appliance simultaneously acts as an SSL server to the original client and an SSL client to the back-end server. The temporary session key (used for encryption and decryption) is securely transported from the server-side Steelhead appliance to the client-side Steelhead appliance so that RiOS optimization and acceleration occurs on all data transfers over the WAN. All data transfers between the client-side and the server-side Steelhead appliance are over a secure channel between the Steelhead appliances. The two peer Steelhead appliances must be configured as SSL peers so that they are trusted entities. The Steelhead appliance contains an encrypted file system, called the secure vault, which stores all SSL server settings, other certificates (the CA, peering trusts, and peering certificates) and the peering private key. For detailed information, see secure-vault on page 317. The Steelhead appliance ships with a default peer certificate. Riverbed recommends you replace the default peer certificate with a certificate with a matching common name and security parameters (key length). For detailed information about the basic steps for configuring SSL, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. The no command option disables SSL module support.

Note: You must specify the private key regardless of whether you are adding or updating. password <password> Usage Specify a decryption password.

Add or change SSL servers to your deployment. You must generate or import certificates and private keys for the server. You must configure each distinct server IP address and port combination that the client may connect to. For example, if https://intranet resolves to one of three different server P addresses, you must configure an SSL server for each of the IP addresses. The same certificate and private key can be used for each, but three separate server configurations must be created. Note: Optimization does not occur for a particular server IP address and port unless that server is configured on the server-side Steelhead appliance. The client-side in-path rules must also be defined. When you configure the back-end server proxy certificate and key on the server-side Steelhead appliance, if you choose not to use the back-end server's actual certificate and key, you can use a self-signed certificate and key or another CA-signed certificate and key. If you have a CA-signed certificate and key, import it. If you do not have a CA-signed certificate and key, you can add the proxy server configuration with a self-sign certificate and key, back up the private key, generate CSR, have it signed by a CA, and import the newly CA-signed certificate and the backed up private key. Tip: To back up a single certificate and key pair (that is, the peering certificate and key pair and a single server's certificate and key) use the export option. Make sure you include the private key and enter the encryption password. Save the exported file that contains the certificate and the encrypted private key. Alternatively, you can use the generated self-signed certificate and key, but doing so might be undesirable because, by default, the clients will not trust it, and end-user action would be required. You might need to add a new CA in the following situations: Your organization has an internal CA that signs the certificates or peering certificates for the backend server. The server certificates are signed by an intermediate or root CA unknown to the Steelhead appliance (perhaps external to the organization). The CA certificate included in the trusted list of the Steelhead appliance has expired or has been revoked and needs replacing.

qos classification class

Description Syntax Creates or modifies a QoS class. [no] qos classification class {add | modify class-name <classname> priority {realtime |interactive | business | normal | low} min-pct <min bw percent> parent <parent class name> {queue-length <length> | queue-type {fifo | sfq | mxtcp} | conn-limit <num> | upper-limitpct <pct> | link-share <weight>} [add | modify] class-name <classname> priority {realtime | interactive | business | normal | low} Specify whether to add or modify a new class. Specify a name for the QoS class. Specify a minimum guaranteed QoS priority level. The latency priority indicates how delay-sensitive a traffic class is to the QoS scheduler. Select the latency priority for the class: Real-Time. Specifies a real-time traffic class. Traffic that is your highest priority should be given this value, for example, VoIP, video conferencing. Interactive. Specifies an interactive traffic class. For example, Citrix, RDP, telnet and ssh. Business Critical. Specifies the business critical traffic class. For example, Thick Client Applications, ERPs, and CRMs Normal Priority. Specifies a normal priority traffic class. For example, Internet browsing, file sharing, and email. Low Priority. Specifies a low priority traffic class. For example, FTP, backup, replication, other high-throughput data transfers, and recreational applications such as audio file sharing. 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 receives the highest possible available priority for the current traffic conditions. This parameter controls the priority of the class relative to the other classes. Important: The latency priority describes only the delay sensitivity of a class, not how much bandwidth it is allocated, nor how important the traffic is compared to other classes. Therefore, it is common to configure low latency priority for high-throughput, non-packet delay sensitive applications like FTP, backup, and replication. min-pct <min bw percent> Specify the minimum amount of bandwidth given to a flow when there is bandwidth contention. Flows that do not use all of their allocated minimum bandwidth will share this excess bandwidth with other flows that exceed their minimum bandwidth allocation. All the classes combined cannot exceed 100%. During contention for bandwidth, the class is guaranteed at least the amount specified. It will receive more if there is unused bandwidth remaining. The value must be a whole number between 1-100; the minimum bandwidth guarantee value for a class must be 0.1%. Important: If your link share is not proportianate to the minimum bandwidth guarantee for hierarchical QoS, delete all your classes and re-enter them with a miniumum guaranteed bandwidth of 0.1%. {parent <parent class name>} Specify the parent for a child class to enable QoS hierarchy. The class will inherit the parents definitions. For example, if the parent class has a business critical priority, and its child has a real-time priority, the child will inherit the business critical priority from its parent, and will use a real-time priority only with respect to its siblings.

Configuration-Mode Commands

queue-length <length>

Configure QoS class queue length. By default, each class has a queue length of 100. Riverbed recommends that you consult with Riverbed Technical Support or your sales engineer before you set this parameter. Optionally, specify one of the following queue methods for the class: SFQ. Shared Fair Queueing (SFQ) is the default queue for all classes. Determines Steelhead appliance behavior when the number of packets in a QoS class outbound queue exceeds the configured queue length. When SFQ is used, packets are dropped from within the queue in a round-robin fashion, among the present traffic flows. SFQ ensures that each flow within the QoS class receives a fair share of output bandwidth relative to each other, preventing bursty flows from starving other flows within the QoS class. FIFO. Transmits all flows in the order that they are received (first in, first out). Bursty sources can cause long delays in delivering timesensitive application traffic and potentially to network control and signaling messages. MXTCP. Has very different use cases than the other queue parameters. MX-TCP also has secondary effects that you need to understand before configuring: When optimized traffic is mapped into a QoS class with the MXTCP queuing parameter, the TCP congestion control mechanism for that traffic is altered on the Steelhead appliance. The normal TCP behavior of reducing the outbound sending rate when detecting congestion or packet loss is disabled, and the outbound rate is made to match the minimum guaranteed bandwidth configured on the QoS class. You can use MX-TCP to achieve high-throughput rates even when the physical medium carrying the traffic has high loss rates. For example, MX-TCP is commonly used for ensuring high throughput on satellite connections where a lower-layer-loss recovery technique is not in use. Another usage of MX-TCP is to achieve high throughput over high-bandwidth, high-latency links, especially when intermediate routers do not have properly tuned interface buffers. Improperly tuned router buffers cause TCP to perceive congestion in the network, resulting in unnecessarily dropped packets, even when the network can support high throughput rates. Important: Use caution when specifying MX-TCP. The outbound rate for the optimized traffic in the configured QoS class immediately increases to the specified bandwidth, and does not decrease in the presence of network congestion. The Steelhead appliance always tries to transmit traffic at the specified rate. If no QoS mechanism (either parent classes on the Steelhead appliance, or another QoS mechanism in the WAN or WAN infrastructure) is in use to protect other traffic, that other traffic might be impacted by MX-TCP not backing off to fairly share bandwidth. When MX-TCP is configured as the queue parameter for a QoS class, the following parameters for that class are also affected: Link share weight. The link share weight parameter has no effect on a QoS class configured with MX-TCP. Upper limit. The upper limit parameter has no effect on a QoS class configured with MX-TCP.

queue-type [fifo | mxtcp | sfq]

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

upper-limit-pct <pct>

Specify the maximum allowed bandwidth (as a percentage) a class receives as a percentage of the parent class guaranteed bandwidth. The limit is applied even if there is excess bandwidth available. Upper Bandwidth does not apply to MX-TCP queues.

conn-limit <num>

Optionally, specify the maximum number of optimized connections for the class. When the limit is reached, all new connections are passed through unoptimized. In hierarchical mode, a parent class connection limit does not affect its child. Each child class optimized connection is limited by the connection limit specified for their class. For example, if B is a child of A, and the connection limit for A is set to 5, while the connection limit for B is set to 10, the connection limit for B is 10. Connection limit is supported only in in-path configurations. It is not supported in out-ofpath or virtual-in-path configurations. Connection Limit is supported only in in-path configurations. It is not supported in out-of-path or virtual-in-path configurations.

link-share <weight>

Applies to flat mode only. Specify the weight for the class. The link share weight determines how the excess bandwidth is allocated among sibling classes. Link share does not depend on the minimum guaranteed bandwidth. By default, all the link shares are equal. Classes with a larger weight are allocated more of the excess bandwidth than classes with a lower link share weight. You cannot specify a Link Share Weight in H-QoS. In H-QoS, the link share weight is the same proportion as the guaranteed bandwidth of the class. The Link Share Weight does not apply to MX-TCP queues.

Usage

QoS classes represent applications, traffic to remote sites, or any other particular aggregation. The QoS classes that are always present on the Steelhead appliance are: Root Class. The root class is used to constrain the total outbound rate of traffic leaving the Steelhead appliance to the configured, per-link WAN bandwidth. This class is not configured directly, but is created when you enable QoS classification and enforcement on the Steelhead appliance. Built-in Default Class. The QoS scheduler applies the built-in default class constraints and parameters on traffic not otherwise placed in a class by the configured QoS rules. QoS classes are configured in one of two different modes: flat or hierarchical. The difference between the two modes primarily consists of how QoS classes are created. The no command options deletes the QoS class.

qos classification enable

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Enables the QoS classification feature. The QoS classification feature allows you to prioritize optimized and pass-through traffic going through this appliance. [no] qos classification enable None QoS is a reservation system for network traffic in which you create QoS classes to distribute network resources. The classes are based on traffic importance, bandwidth needs, and delaysensitivity. You allocate network resources to each of the classes. Traffic flows according to the network resources allocated to its class. For detailed information about QoS, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide and the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. To configure QoS classification 1. Enable QoS Classification and Enforcement. 2. Enable either Flat or Hierarchical mode. Note: Specifying a mode does not enable QoS traffic classification. 3. Select each WAN interface and define the bandwidth link rate for each interface. 4. Define a class for each traffic flow. 5. Define rules for each class or subclass. 6. Optionally, mark pass-through or optimized rules within a class. Important: If you delete or add new rules, the existing optimized connections are not affected; the changes only The no command option disables QoS. Example Product Related Topics

Usage

This is the bottleneck WAN bandwidth not the interface speed out of the WAN interface into the router or switch. For example, if your Steelhead appliance connects to a router with a 100 Mbps link, do not specify this valuespecify the actual WAN bandwidth (for example, T1, T3). Different WAN interfaces can have different WAN bandwidths; this value must be correctly entered for QoS to function correctly. The percentage of excess bandwidth given to a class is relative to the percentage of minimum bandwidth allocated to the class. The curve-burst option sets the amount of burst allowed for real-time QoS classes at the link rate. During this burst, all other traffic is suppressed. The formula for the burst rate is:
burst = 25% of (link-rate kb/sec * 1 sec)

Therefore, the burst rate changes as the link rate changes. The no command option disables the specified command option. Example Product Related Topics

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

For detailed information about configuring QoS, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide and the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. In hierarchical mode, you create QoS classes as children of QoS classes other than the root class. This allows you to create overall parameters for a certain traffic type, and specify parameters for subtypes of that traffic. There is no enforced limit to the number of QoS class levels you can create. In hierarchical mode, the following relationships exist between QoS classes: Sibling classes. Classes that share the same parent class. Leaf classes. Classes at the bottom of the class hierarchy. Inner classes. Classes that are neither the root class nor leaf classes. In hierarchical mode, QoS rules can only specify leaf classes as targets for traffic. Riverbed QoS controls the traffic of hierarchical QoS classes in the following manner: QoS rules assign active traffic to leaf classes. The QoS scheduler: applies active leaf class parameters to the traffic. applies parameters to inner classes that have active leaf class children. Flat Mode In flat mode, all of the QoS classes you create must have the root class as their parent. Thus all of the QoS classes you create are siblings. The appropriate QoS enforcement system to use depends on the location of WAN bottlenecks for traffic leaving the site. Use the following guidelines when implementing QoS: A site that acts as a data server for other locations, such as a data center or regional hub, typically uses hierarchical mode. The first level of classes represents remote sites, and those remote site classes have child classes that either represent application types, or are indirectly connected remote sites. A site that typically receives data from other locations, such as a branch site, typically uses flat mode. The classes represent different application types. For example, suppose you have a network with ten locations, and you want to choose the correct mode for site 1. Traffic from site 1 normally goes to two other sites: sites 9 and 10. If the WAN links at sites 9 and 10 are at a higher bandwidth than the link at site 1, the WAN bottleneck rate for site 1 is always the link speed for site 1. In this case, you can use flat mode to enforce QoS at site 1, because the bottleneck that needs to be managed is the link at site 1. In flat mode, the parent class for all created classes is the root class that represents the WAN link at site 1. In the same network, site 10 sends traffic to sites 1 8. Sites 1 8 have slower bandwidth links than site 10. Because the traffic from site 10 faces multiple WAN bottlenecks (one at each remote site), you configure hierarchical mode for site 10. When configuring QoS classification for FTP, the QoS rules differ depending on whether the FTP data channel is using active or passive FTP. Active versus passive FTP determines whether the FTP client or the FTP server select the port connection for use with the data channel, which has implications for QoS classification. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Central Management Console Users Guide You can use the Steelhead Central Management Console (CMC) to enable QoS and to configure and apply QoS policies centrally to Steelhead appliances. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Central Management Console Users Guide. You must enable QoS classification and set the bandwidth link rate for the WAN interface before you create a QoS class.

qos classification rule add

Description Syntax Adds a QoS classification rule. [no] qos classification rule add {rulenum <priority> class-name <class> source {subnet <subnet/ mask> | port <port>} destination {subnet <subnet/mask> | port <port>} traffic-type [all |optimized | passthrough] [vlan <vlan>] [protocol {all | UDP | TCP} [dscp <dscp>] | [dscp <dscp level> rulenum <priority> Specify the order in which the rule is processed in the rules list. Steelhead appliances 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. class-name <class> traffic-type [optimized | passthrough] source {subnet <subnet/mask> | port} destination {subnet <subnet/mask> | port} protocol {all | UDP | TCP} dscp <dscp level> vlan <vlan> Usage Specify the class to which the rule applies. If the rule matches, the specified rule sends the packet to this class. Specify the type of traffic: optimized or passthrough. QoS rules are applied to optimized and pass-through (egress only) traffic. Specify the subnet and mask or the port. Use the following format for subnet and mask: 1.2.3.4/123. The default value for port is all. Specify the subnet and mask or the port. Use the following format for subnet and mask: 1.2.3.4/123. The default value for port is all. Specify the routing protocol for the rule: all, UDP, TCP. The default value is all. Optionally, specify a DSCP level (0-63). Optionally, specify the VLAN tag ID.

Parameters

Each rule maps a type of network traffic to a QoS class. You can create more than one QoS rule for a class. When more than one QoS rule is created for a class, the rules are followed in the order in which they are shown on the QoS Classification page and only the first matching rule is applied to the class. Any Steelhead appliance supports up to 2000 rules. In H-QoS, only child classes can have rules. Important: If you delete or add new rules, existing optimized connections are not affected. The changes only affect new optimized connections. The no command option disables the rule.

Description Syntax Parameters Usage Moves the order of the DSCP mapping rule in the rule list to the specified number. qos dscp {move-rule traffic type [optimized | passthrough] rulenum <rule> to <rule>} <rule> Specify the order in which rules are evaluated.

You specify an ordered list of rules where each rule is the DSCP level used on the inner connection for connections matching the source IP subnet, the destination IP subnet and, optionally, the destination port fields. Steelhead appliances 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.

qos dscp rule

Description Maps a service port to a QoS DSCP level based on the source IP subnet, the destination IP subnet, destination port, and rule number. 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. Note: Optimized traffic is marked in both directions, but pass-through traffic is marked only on the egress traffic.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

327

Configuration-Mode Commands

dest-port <port>

Specify the port on which to monitor. Port labels and port ranges are also supported on v4.x or later. For active FTP, configure a QoS rule on the server-side Steelhead appliance to match the destination port 20. On the client-side Steelhead appliance, configure a QoS rule with a destination port of 20. This might seem counter-intuitive as active FTP uses source port 20 and not destination port 20. This is because QoS marking does not support the creation of QoS rules based on the source port for optimized traffic. It is not necessary to create a QoS rule on the client-side Steelhead appliance because the default behavior is to automatically reflect the DSCP value. For passive FTP, configure a QoS rule on the client-side Steelhead appliance to match the destination port 20. This might seem counter-intuitive as passive FTP does not use destination port 20, but rather some random port number. However, the Steelhead appliance has specific intelligence built-in so that it knows what port number passive FTP is using as its destination port number. Therefore, for QoS marking with passive FTP, destination port 20 on the clientside Steelhead appliance simply means the port number being used by the data channel for passive FTP, as opposed to the literal meaning of destination port 20. It is not necessary to create a rule on the server-side Steelhead appliance because the default behavior is to automatically reflect the DSCP value.

<level>

Specify the DSCP level (0-63) or reflect. If you want the DSCP level or IP ToS value found on pass-through traffic to remain unchanged when it passes through the Steelhead appliance, specify reflect. Important: If your connections already have a DSCP level and you do not define one in the Management Console, the Steelhead appliance uses the existing DSCP level for the connection between the Steelhead appliances. If you define a DSCP level in the Management Console, the client-side Steelhead appliance overrides the existing DSCP level and the value that you defined is applied to both the client-side and server-side appliances. Note: Optimized traffic is marked in both directions, but pass-through traffic is marked only on the egress traffic.

<rulenum> Usage

Specify the rule number to insert before.

You specify an ordered list of rules where each rule is the DSCP level to use on the inner connection for connections matching the source IP subnet, the destination IP subnet and, optionally, the destination port fields. Steelhead appliances can retain or alter the DSCP or IP ToS value of both pass-through traffic and optimized traffic. To alter the DSCP or IP ToS value of optimized or pass-through traffic, you create a list that maps which traffic receives a certain DSCP value. The first matching mapping is applied. 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 Steelhead appliance, 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. If you have already defined a DSCP level and you do not define one in the CLI, the Steelhead appliance uses the existing DSCP level for the connection between the Steelhead appliances. If you define a DSCP level in the CLI, the Steelhead appliance overrides the existing DSCP level and the value that you defined is applied. The no qos rule rulenum <rulenum> command disables the QoS rule.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

With RiOS v5.0.x or later, and if you use WAN visibility full address transparency, you have the following transparency options for the OOB connection: OOB connection destination transparency and OOB connection full transparency. You configure OOB transparent addressing on the client-side Steelhead appliance (where the connection is initiated). By default, the OOB connection uses correct addressing. Correct addressing uses the client-side Steelhead appliance IP address, port number, and VLAN ID, and the server-side Steelhead appliance IP address, port number, and VLAN ID. If you are using OOB connection correct addressing and the client-side Steelhead appliance cannot establish the OOB connection to the server-side Steelhead appliance, OOB connection transparency can resolve this issue. For example, if you have a server on a private network that is located behind a NAT device. You configure OOB connection transparency so that the client-side Steelhead appliance uses the server IP address and port number as the remote IP address and port number. Steelhead appliances route packets on the OOB connection to the NAT device. The NAT device then translates the packet address to that of the server-side Steelhead appliance. If both of the OOB connection transparency options are acceptable solutions, OOB connection destination transparency is preferable. OOB connection destination transparency mitigates the slight possibility of port number collisions which can occur with OOB connection full transparency. When OOB connection transparency is enabled and the OOB connection is lost, the Steelhead appliances re-establish the connection using the server IP address and port number from the next optimized connection. OOB connection destination transparency uses the client-side Steelhead appliance IP address and an ephemeral port number chosen by the client-side Steelhead appliance, plus the server IP address and port number in the TCP/IP packet headers in both directions across the WAN Steelhead appliances use the server IP address and port number from the first optimized connection. Use OOB connection destination transparency if the client-side Steelhead appliance cannot establish the OOB connection to the server-side Steelhead appliance. For detailed information about configuring in-path IP addresses and OOB connections for WAN visibility, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide.

wccp override-return route-no-gre

Description Enables the Steelhead appliance to accept whatever return direction is negotiated, but it returns traffic by using the in-path routing table, and will not use GRE encapsulation. Typically, you use this where you have an in-path gateway, which means traffic is returned to the in-path gateway. [no] wccp override-return route-no-gre None Typically, you configure the WCCP service group to specify either. By choosing either, the router and Steelhead appliance negotiate whether to use L2 or GRE for redirects, and separately, for returns as well. Certain platforms and IOS's support L2 redirects to the Steelhead appliance (usually the 6500s or 7600s depending on their supervisor engine), and even fewer combinations support L2 return. (The 12.2(SXH) does support L2 return.) This command should only be used if there is an L2 hop between the Steelhead appliance and the next hop according to the routing table. For details, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide, The no command option disables WCCP support. Example Product Related Topics

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

assignscheme [either | hash | mask]

Specify the redirection scheme to use: either. Specify either hash or mask. This is the default setting (hash first, then mask). hash. Specify a hash redirection scheme. Enabling hash allows you to load balance. A hash assignment requires the first packet of each connection to be processed by the CPU resulting in slightly lower performance. mask. Specify a mask redirection scheme. RiOS supports mask assignment for the WCCP. This assignment mode performs load balancing redirection operations in the appliance, significantly reducing the load on the redirecting router. With a mask assignment the first packet is processed in the hardware so there is less CPU utilization resulting in better performance. With a mask assignment you can have high availability. You can have multiple Steelhead appliances in a service group but only the Steelhead appliance with the lowest IP will receive all the traffic. Should the Steelhead appliance with the lowest IP fail the Steelhead appliance with the next IP receives all the traffic. When the Steelhead appliance with the lowest IP recovers it again receive all the traffic. The assignment scheme is always set on the Steelhead appliance, not the router. When determining bucket allocations, the mask assignment takes into account the WCCP weight parameter. The higher the weight, the more buckets will be allocated to that Steelhead appliance. However, even if the Steelhead appliances in the cluster all share the same weight, the distribution amongst the Steelhead appliances might not be perfectly equal if the number of buckets is not divisible by the number of Steelhead appliances in the cluster. When the number of buckets is not divisible by the number of Steelhead appliances in the cluster, the remainder buckets are assigned to the Steelhead appliance with the highest IP address.

dst-ip-mask <mask>

Specify the service group destination IP mask. For example to set the source and destination IP mask:
wccp assgn_scheme mask src-ip-mask 0x0170 dst-ip-mask 0x0041

src-ip-mask <mask>

Specify the service group source IP mask. The default value is 0x1741. For example:
wccp assgn_scheme mask src-ip-mask 0x0170 dst-ip-mask 0x0

dst-port-mask src-port-mask protocol [tcp | icmp] encap-scheme [either|gre|1 2]

Specify the service group destination port mask. Specify the service group source port mask. Specify the protocol: TCP or ICMP. Specify the traffic forwarding and redirection scheme: gre. Generic Routing Encapsulation (gre) l2. Layer-2 redirection. either. Layer-2 first; if Layer-2 is not supported, then gre. This is the default value.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

flags <flags>

Specify the fields the router hash on and if certain ports should be redirected. Specify a combination of src-ip-hash, dst-ip-hash, src-port-hash, dst-port-hash, ports-dest, ports-source. The default setting is src-ip-hash, dst-ip-hash, which ensures that all of the packets for a particular TCP connection are redirected to the same Steelhead appliance. If you use a different setting, you might need to enable connection forwarding among the Steelhead appliances in the WCCP service group. The following hashing options are available: src-ip-hash. Source IP hash. Specify that the router hash the source IP address to determine traffic to redirect. dst-ip-hash. Destination IP hash. Specify that the router hash the destination IP address to determine traffic to redirect. src-port-hash. Source port hash. Specify that the router hash the source port to determine traffic to redirect. dst-port-hash. Destination port hash. Specify that the router hash the destination port to determine traffic to redirect. Other options: ports-dest. Destination ports. Specify that the router determines traffic to redirect based on destination ports. ports-source. Source ports. Specify Note: Flags cannot set destination ports and source ports simultaneously.

password <password> ports <ports> priority <priority> password <password> weight <weight 065535>>

Specify the WCCP password. This password must be the same as the password on the router. (WCCP requires that all routers in a service group have the same password.) Passwords are limited to eight characters. Specify a comma-separated list of up to seven ports that the router will redirect. Use only if ports-dest or ports-source service flag is set. Specify the WCCP priority for traffic redirection. If a connection matches multiple service groups on a router, the router chooses the service group with the highest priority. The range is 0-255. The default value is 200. Specify the WCCP password. This password must be the same as the password on the router. (WCCP requires that all routers in a service group have the same password.) Passwords are limited to eight characters. Specify how often the traffic is redirected to a particular Steelhead appliance. A higher weight redirects more traffic to that Steelhead appliance. The ratio of traffic redirected to a Steelhead appliance is equal to its weight divided by the sum of the weights of all the Steelhead appliances in the same service group. For example, if there are two Steelhead appliances 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. The range is 065535. The default value corresponds to the number of TCP connections your appliance supports.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

To enable WCCP, the Steelhead appliance must join a service group at the router. A service group is a group of routers and Steelhead appliances which define the traffic to redirect, and the routers and Steelhead appliances the traffic goes through. To enable failover support with WCCP groups, define the service group weight to be 0 on the backup Steelhead appliance. If one Steelhead appliance has a weight 0, but another one has a nonzero weight, the Steelhead appliance with weight 0 does not receive any redirected traffic. If all the Steelhead appliances have a weight 0, the traffic is redirected equally among them. If the source or destination flags are set, the router redirects only the TCP traffic that matches the source or destination ports specified. For detailed information about configuring WCCP in Riverbed deployments, see the Steelhead Appliance Deployment Guide. For detailed information about WCCP, see the Cisco documentation Web site at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm. Mask Assignment Support In v5.0.2 RiOS supports mask assignment for the WCCP protocol. This assignment mode performs redirection operations in hardware, significantly reducing the load on the redirecting router. The no command option disables WCCP support.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

For a physical in-path failover deployment, you configure a pair of Steelhead appliances: one as a master and the other as a backup. The master Steelhead appliance in the pair (usually the Steelhead appliance closest to the LAN) is active and the backup Steelhead appliance is passive. The master Steelhead appliance is active unless it fails for some reason. The backup is passive while the master is active and becomes active if either the master fails or the master reaches its connection limit and enters admission control status. A backup Steelhead appliance does not intercept traffic while the master appliance is active. It pings the master Steelhead appliance to make sure that it is alive and processing data. If the master Steelhead appliance fails, the backup takes over and starts processing all of the connections. When the master Steelhead appliance comes back up, it sends a message to the backup that it has recovered. The backup Steelhead appliance stops processing new connections (but continues to serve old ones until they end). For an out-of-path failover deployment, you deploy two server-side Steelhead appliances and add a fixed-target rule to the client-side Steelhead appliance to define the master and backup target appliances. When both the master and backup Steelhead appliances are functioning properly, the connections traverse the master appliance. If the master Steelhead appliance fails, subsequent connections traverse the backup Steelhead appliance. The master Steelhead appliance uses an Out-of-Band (OOB) connection. The OOB connection is a single, unique TCP connection that communicates internal information only; it does not participate in the Steelhead appliance optimization. If the master Steelhead appliance becomes unavailable, it loses this OOB connection and the OOB connection times out in approximately 4045 seconds. Once the OOB connection times out, the client-side Steelhead appliance declares the master Steelhead appliance unavailable and connects to the backup Steelhead appliance. During the 40-45 second delay before the client-side Steelhead appliance declares a peer unavailable, it passes through any incoming new connections; they are not blackholed. While the client-side Steelhead appliance is using the backup Steelhead appliance for optimization, it attempts to connect to the master Steelhead appliance every 30 seconds. If the connection succeeds, the client-side Steelhead appliance reconnects to the master Steelhead appliance for any new connections. Existing connections remain on the backup Steelhead for their duration. This is the only time, immediately after a recovery from a master failure, that connections are optimized by both the master Steelhead appliance and the backup. If both the master and backup Steelhead appliances become unreachable, the client-side Steelhead tries to connect to both appliances every 30 seconds. Any new connections are passed through the network unoptimized. In addition to enabling failover and configuring buddy peering, you must synchronize the data stores for the master-backup pairs to ensure optimal use of SDR for warm data transfer. With warm transfers, only new or modified data is sent, dramatically increasing the rate of data transfer over the WAN. For detailed information, see datastore sync enable on page 178. The no command option disables failover.

Usage

Each RSP package uses its own RSP network interfaces, equivalent to VMware network interfaces, to communicate with the outside world. These network interfaces are matched up with the physical intercept points that create VNIs. VNIs are network taps that enable data flow in and out of the RSP packages. VNIs are available on the LAN, WAN, primary, and auxiliary interfaces of the Steelhead appliance. Each package is capable of having ten RSP network interfaces which means it can support ten VNIs. The VNIs provide a great deal of configuration flexibility, providing the basis of how packages are chained together and how data flows through the various packages in a multiple package scenario. VNIs fall into two categories: Optimization VNIs Optimization VNIs are used with in-band packages. Optimization VNIs are part of the optimized data flow on either the LAN- or WAN-side of RiOS. There are several types of optimization VNIs: In-path. In-path VNIs are used for packages such as security packages. The following types of in-path optimization VNIs are available: LAN. LAN VNIs forward packets from the LAN-side to the virtual machine, to the WANside, or both. LAN VNIs unconditionally forward packets from the virtual machine to the LAN-side. LAN VNIs cannot receive packets from the WAN-side. WAN. WAN VNIs forward packets from the WAN-side to the virtual machine, to the LANside, or both. WAN VNIs unconditionally forward packets from the virtual machine to the WAN-side. WAN VNIs cannot receive packets from the LAN-side. Virtual In-Path: These optimization VNIs belong to in-band packages that need some form of redirection to intercept traffic. The types of virtual in-path VNIs are: DNAT. Use with proxy-based solutions; for example, video proxies. Mirror. Use with network monitoring-based solutions; acts like a SPAN port to copy traffic for monitoring. For details about adding optimization VNI rules, see rsp opt-vni rule on page 349. Management VNIs. Management VNIs reside on the Steelhead appliance primary or auxiliary port. Management VNIs are used as a management interface for in-band packages. Management VNIs are the primary communication path for out-of-band packages. Note: For detailed information on RSP, see the Riverbed Services Platform Installation and Configuration Guide. For details about adding optimization VNI rules, see rsp mgmt-vni on page 349. The no command option disables dataflow on the specified VNI.

Usage

In RiOS 5.5 the Riverbed Services Platform (RSP), offers branch-office-in-a-box services. Important: Riverbed recommends you install and configure RSP using the Management Console. For detailed information, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide. Note: RSP is supported on Models 250, 520, 550, 1020, 1050, 1520, 2020, 2050, 5050, and 6050. RSP in RiOS v5.5.x uses VMware Server 2.0 as the virtualization platform. Both 32 and 64-bit versions of the RSP image are available. VM Server does not need a separate license. After installing the RSP installation image, you can add packages to run additional services and applications. RSP includes configuration options that enable you to determine the data flow to and from a package, and the ability to chain packages together. After installing the RSP image, you can install the RSP packages that run additional services and applications. RSP packages are available as a separate release from a third-party vendor or from Riverbed. For example, you can run out-of-band packages such as Internet Protocol Address Management (IPAM) and in-band packages such as security solutions that provide firewall, VPN, and content filtering. You can also run proxy solutions such as video streaming packages. You can run up to five packages simultaneously, depending on the package and the Steelhead appliance model. The configuration options include rules to determine the data flow to and from a package, and the ability to chain packages together. For detailed information about installing RSP, see Riverbed Services Platform Installation and Configuration Guide. Prerequisites and Tips The Steelhead appliance RiOS image does not include the RSP image. You must install the RSP image separately. You must have role-based permission for RSP before you can install RSP and add a package. Before installing a new RSP image, you must stop the RSP service currently running on the Steelhead appliance. For details about Steelhead appliance RSP support for guest operating systems, see the product specification sheets at http://www.riverbed.com/products/appliances/ If you have previously installed RSP for RiOS v5.0.x, you must reinstall the RSP image for RiOS v5.5.x and later. RSP for RiOS v5.0.x is not compatible with RSP for RiOS v5.5.x. Installing a new RSP image replaces the previously installed image (the VM packages are left untouched). Basic Steps 7. Download and install the RSP image, which contains the VMware binary programs and the RSP service. The Steelhead appliance RiOS image does not include the RSP image. You must install the RSP image separately. 1.

Usage

VNI rules determine what the VNI does with the traffic it receives. The redirection can be controlled by rules based on IP or port. VNI rules can perform one of the following actions: Redirect the packets to the VM. Pass the packets along the data flow to the next VNI. Pass the packets along the data flow and send a copy of the packets to the VM. RSP provides two default rules to direct traffic that does not match any other rules: LAN-to-WAN rule WAN-to-LAN rule Using VNI Rules to Chain Packages Together For example, if you installed a video streaming package, a security package, and a VPN package on the Steelhead appliance. You can define rules to invoke the following data path: 1. Flash video traffic coming from the LAN Steelhead appliance is redirected to a video proxy solution. 2. All other traffic goes directly to RiOS and is optimized. 3. After RiOS optimizes the traffic, it is redirected to the security package on the WAN-side of the Steelhead appliance that checks the data (or, if it is a VPN solution, encrypts it), and sends it back out of the WAN. You can control the data redirection using rules based on IP or port. After RiOS is finished, the traffic is intercepted and redirected on the WAN side to a security package that checks the data (or, if it is a VPN solution, encrypts it), and sends it back out the WAN. You can control the data redirection using rules based on IP address or port number. DNAT Rules Destination Network Address Translation (DNAT) rules are used for in-path proxy-based solutions. You can only add DNAT rules for a virtual in-path optimization VNIs. By default, DNAT is disabled. When DNAT is enabled, it translates the network address of packets that match the source and destination IP and the port (or port range) to the target IP and, optionally, the target port. It then routes them to the correct device, host, or network. For example, you can install an RSP package for live video streaming and add a DNAT rule (using the IP address, port number, or both) that transparently proxies all traffic redirected to the local RSP video instance. Consequently, the local RSP video instance responds to the local clients on behalf of the original server, simultaneously communicating with the original server in the background over the WAN. This process streamlines the number of requests over the WAN, resulting in time and bandwidth savings. The RSP rule that determines which traffic is network address translated is provided in the data flow rules for the virtual in-path VNI.When you configure data flow and DNAT rules, use the following guidelines: Data flow rules are per VNI. Data flow rules are unidirectional. For example, typically you have a LAN-to-WAN rule for the LAN VNI, and a reverse WAN-to-LAN rule for the WAN VNI. WAN VNIs do not see data coming from the LAN, and LAN VNIs do not see packets coming from the WAN. For a WAN VNI, only WAN-to-LAN rules are applicable. For a LAN VNI, only LAN-to-WAN rules are applicable. You must create WAN-to-LAN rules and LAN-to-WAN rules separately. You can only add DNAT rules for a virtual in-path VNI. You can specify a target port range with DNAT rules. For detailed information about default rules and how to edit them, see the Riverbed Services Platform Installation Guide.

Before installing a package, you must install RSP. After installing the RSP image, you can download and install packages. A package can be a virtual machine (VM) created: by a third-party vendor that also contains configuration files specific to the Riverbed RSP implementation. by Riverbed. internally within your organization. You can download any number of packages to the Steelhead appliance, but you can only run up to five packages at a time. The exact number depends on the package size, the amount of resources available, and your Steelhead appliance model. RSP packages contain the service or applications in the virtual machine. RSP packages also contain Riverbed configuration files including the package VNIs. RSP packages include a .vmx file and one ore more .vmdk files. You need not open or modify any of the files in the package. The package files can be quite large and can take up several GBs of disk space. RSP provides the following packages: In-band packages. In-band packages work in conjunction with the Steelhead appliance optimization services. You can use the following in-band packages: In-band LAN packages. In-band LAN packages intercept data on the Steelhead appliance LAN interface before or after the data flows through RiOS, depending on the traffic direction. Examples of this type of package include Intrusion Detection System or Intrusion Prevention System packages. In-band WAN packages. In-band WAN packages intercept data on the Steelhead appliance WAN interface before or after the data flows through RiOS, depending on the traffic direction. Examples of this type of package include firewall, content filtering, and VPN packages. In-band hybrid packages. In-band hybrid packages intercept data on both the LAN interface and the WAN interface of the Steelhead appliance. Typically, in-band hybrid packages are network monitoring packages. Out-of-band packages. Out-of-band packages are not required to work in conjunction with the Steelhead appliance optimization service. Typically, out-of-band packages are located on the Steelhead appliance primary interface. Examples of this type of package include IPAM, print, DNS, and DHCP. When you install an RSP package you must select an RSP slot. A slot is a directory on disk. When you install a package into a slot, the system unpacks the VM into the directory. When you remove a package, the system deletes the files from the slot. After you install a package into a slot, you configure data flow rules for the RSP package. Data flow rules are similar to in-path rules, except they are unidirectional. Riverbed recommends you use the Management Console to define your data flow rules for your packages. For detailed information on RSP, including the RSP packages included with RiOS v5.5 and their system requirements, see the Riverbed Services Platform Installation and Configuration Guide.

rsp slot priority

Description Syntax Parameters Set the CPU priority for the slot if there is contention for resources. rsp slot <slot name> priority {high | normal | low} <slot name> high normal Specify the slot name or number. The default names for the slots are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Sets a higher priority relative to other slots. Sets normal priority relative to other slots. The default priority setting is normal. In the event of CPU contention, CPU resources are allocated to the slots according to the priority specified. Slots with the same priority level receive equal access to the CPU. low Usage Sets low priority relative to other slots.

The CPU uses the slot priority to allocate resources in the event of contention. By default all slots are set at normal priority. Because there is only three priority levels, but five slots, it is always the case that more than one slot has the same priority. In that case, slots with the same priority are given equal access to the CPU.

rsp slot watchdog

Description Syntax Parameters Configures watchdog on the specified package. Riverbed recommends you configure an RSP watchdog that blocks traffic in the event an in-path security package such as a firewall, fails. rsp slot <slot-name> watchdog {block | enable | frequency <secs> | ip <ip-addr> | timeout <secs>} <slot-name> block enable frequency <secs> ip <ip-addr> timeout <secs> Usage Specify the slot name. Enables watchdog blocking on this package. Enable watchdog on this package. Sets the frequency at which the watchdog should ping. Sets the IP that the watchdog should ping. Sets the time-out for watchdog.

An RSP watchdog determines what to do with traffic in the event of a package failure. By default, the watchdog sends an email alert and bypasses traffic destined for failed packages. Traffic that normally flows through an optimization VNI on the RSP package now skips the optimization VNI, and is allowed through. You can configure a watchdog to block traffic destined for failed packages. The RSP package must have the management interface configured before you can configure a watchdog on it. You can also disable fail-to-bypass mode on the package interface. This is useful in the event of a firewall package failure. Otherwise, if the Steelhead appliance loses power or otherwise fails, traffic is allowed through the interface. For details about enabling fail-to-bypass, see the Riverbed Services Platform Installation and Configuration Guide. For details about which interfaces support disabling fail-to-bypass, see the Bypass Card Installation Guide. To verify that the virtual machine is running, the RSP watchdog pings an IP address. You configure the IP address on the virtual machine guest operating system Ethernet interface and then bridge it to one of the management VNIs on the Steelhead appliance.

Usage

A DNS name server resolves hostnames to IP addresses and stores them locally in a single Steelhead appliance. Any time your browser requests a URL, it first looks in the local cache to see if it is there before querying the external name server. If it finds the resolved URL locally, it uses that IP. Hosting the DNS name server function provides: Improved performance for web applications by saving the round trips previously needed to resolve names. Whenever the name server receives address information for another host or domain, it stores that information for a specified period of time. That way, if it receives another name resolution request for that host or domain, the name server has the address information ready, and does not need to send another request across the WAN. Improved performance for services by saving round trips previously required for updates. Continuous DNS service locally when the WAN is disconnected, with no local administration needed, eliminating the need for DNS servers at branch offices. The no command option disables a DNS server.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

A server-side Steelhead appliance can join a Windows domain or Local Workgroup. You configure the Steelhead appliance to join a Windows domain (typically, the domain of your company) for PFS, SMB signing, and MAPI 2007 encrypted traffic optimization authentication. When you configure the Steelhead appliance to join a Windows domain, you do not have to manage local accounts in the branch office, as you do in Local Workgroup mode. Domain mode allows a Domain Controller (DC) to authenticate users. TheSteelhead appliance must be configured as a Member Server in the Windows 2000, or later, Active Directory Services (ADS) domain. Domain users are allowed to access the PFS shares, use the Kerberos delegation trust facility and/or NTLM environments for MAPI 2007 encryption or SMB Signing, based on the access permission settings provided for each user. Data volumes at the data center are configured explicitly on the proxy-file server and are served locally by the Steelhead appliance. As part of the configuration, the data volume and ACLs from the origin-file server are copied to the Steelhead appliance. RiOS allocates a portion of the Steelhead appliance data store for users to access as a network file system. Before enabling Domain mode make sure you: configure the DNS server correctly. The configured DNS server must be the same DNS server to which all the Windows client computers point. To use SMB signing, the server-side Steelhead appliance must be in DNS. have a fully-qualified domain name. This domain name must be the domain name for which all the Windows desktop computers are configured. set the owner of all files and folders in all remote paths to a domain account and not a local account. Note: PFS only supports domain accounts on the origin-file server; PFS does not support local accounts on the origin-file server. During an initial copy from the origin-file server to the PFS Steelhead appliance, if PFS encounters a file or folder with permissions for both domain and local accounts, only the domain account permissions are preserved on the Steelhead appliance. For detailed information about domains and PFS, see the Steelhead Management Console Users Guide.

Configuration-Mode Commands

workgroup join
Description Syntax Parameters Join a Windows Local Workgroup. workgroup join <workgroup> <workgroup> Specify the name of the Local Workgroup you want to join. If you configure in Local Workgroup mode the Steelhead appliance does not need to join a domain. Local Workgroup accounts are used by clients when they connect to the Steelhead appliance. Note: PFS, MAPI 2007, or SMB signing must be enabled and Local Workgroup Settings must be selected before you can set the Workgroup Name. After you have set a Workgroup Name, click Join. Usage In Local Workgroup mode, you define a workgroup and add individual users that have access to the Steelhead appliance. The Steelhead appliance does not join a Windows domain. Use Local Workgroup mode in environments where you do not want the Steelhead appliance to be a part of a Windows domain. Creating a workgroup eliminates the need to join a Windows domain and simplifies the configuration process. Note: If you use Local Workgroup mode you must manage the accounts and permissions for the branch office on the Steelhead appliance. The Local Workgroup account permissions might not match the permissions on the origin-file server. Example Product Related Topics

job
Description Syntax Parameters Schedules CLI command execution for a specified time in the future. [no] job <job-id> command <sequence #> <cli-command> <job-id> <sequence #> Specify the job identification number. Specify the sequence number for job execution. The sequence number is an integer that controls the order in which a CLI command is executed. CLI commands are executed from the smallest to the largest sequence number. Specify the CLI command. For more than one command, enclose in doublequotes. If a single command, double-quotes are not necessary.

<cli-command> Usage

A job includes a set of CLI commands and a time when the job runs. Jobs are run one time only, but they can be reused. Any number of CLI commands can be specified with a job and are executed in an order specified by sequence numbers. If a CLI command in the sequence fails, no further commands in the job are executed. A job can have an empty set of CLI commands. The output of all commands executed are saved to a file in a specified directory. The output of each command is simply appended to the file. The job output and any error messages are saved. Jobs can be canceled and rescheduled. The no job <job-id> command <sequence #> command option deletes the CLI command from the job. The no job <job-id> command option removes all statistics associated with the specified job. If the job has not executed, the timer event is canceled. If the job was executed, the results are deleted along with the job statistics.

Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

The most active, heaviest users of WAN bandwidth are called the Top Talkers. A Netflow collector identifies the top consumers of the available WAN capacity (the top 50 by default) and displays them in the Top Talkers report. Collecting statistics on the Top Talkers provides visibility into WAN traffic without applying an in-path rule to enable a WAN visibility mode. You can analyze the Top Talkers for accounting, security, troubleshooting, and capacity planning purposes. The collector gathers statistics on the top talkers based on the proportion of WAN bandwidth consumed by the top hosts, applications, and host and application pair conversations. The statistics track pass-through or optimized traffic, or both. Data includes TCP or UDP traffic, or both (configurable on the Top Talkers report page). You must enable Netflow Export (ip flow-export enable) before you enable Top Talkers. Enabling Top Talkers automatically sets the Active Flow Timeout (ip flow-setting active_to) to 60 seconds. The no command option disables this feature.

Usage

Load-balancing rules define the characteristics by which traffic is selected for load balancing and the availability of LAN-side Steelhead appliance for such traffic. Typically, your rules list should: Account for traffic over all subnets and ports that have been selected for redirection. Account for all Steelhead appliances you have configured as neighbor peers to be targets of redirect rules or reserved for the automatic load-balancing rule. If a neighbor Steelhead appliance is specified as a target for a rule, it is reserved for traffic that matches that rule and is not available to the pool used for automatic load-balancing. If a neighbor Steelhead appliance is not specified as a target for a rule, it is available for automatic load balancing. Account for second-preference cases where you would rather pass-through traffic than tax the autoload-balancing pool. The Interceptor appliance processes load-balancing rules as follows: 1. Redirect rule matches and target Steelhead appliance available: Redirect to a target appliance according to the load balancing algorithm. 2. Redirect rule matches but none of the target Steelhead appliances for the rules are available: Consults the next rule in list. 3. Pass-through rule matches: Pass-through, traversing Riverbed routes but unoptimized. 4. Redirect rule matches but no capacity and does not match a pass-through rule: Automatically balances load among neighbor Steelhead appliances not reserved by other rules. 5. No rules match or no rules specified, target Steelhead appliances are chosen based on the following rules: Peer Affinity. Prefers a target Steelhead appliance that has had a previous connection with the source Steelhead appliance. Least Connections. If more than one target Steelhead appliance has peer affinity, the connection is redirected to one that has the least current connections. No Peer Affinity. If no Steelhead appliance has peer affinity, the connection is redirected to the Steelhead appliance with the least current connections.

Configuration-Mode Commands

Usage

The in-path rules table is a list of rules for determining how the Riverbed system handles network connection requests. The system either optimizes the traffic, passes it through unoptimized, discards the connection, or denies the connection. An in-path rule redirect command selects traffic to be optimized when your deployment includes Interceptor load balancing. The connections selected by the in-path rule redirect command are load-balanced according to rules you specify in the load-balance rules table. The Interceptor appliance evaluates 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, filter traffic that is to be unoptimized, discarded, or denied before processing rules for traffic that is to be optimized. For example, order rules as follows: 1. Pass-through. 2. Discard. 3. Deny. 4. Redirect. The default rule, Redirect All (all remaining traffic), is listed automatically and should be ordered last. The no command option disables the rule. The no command option has the following syntax: no in-path rule <rulenum>

Riverbed Ports

This appendix describes the Steelhead appliance default and supported secure ports. It includes the following sections:

Default Ports, next Commonly Excluded Ports on page 416 Interactive Ports Forwarded by the Steelhead Appliance on page 416 Secure Ports Forwarded by the Steelhead Appliance on page 417

Default Ports
The following table summarizes Steelhead appliance default ports with the port label: RBT-Proto.
Default Ports 7744 7800 7801 7810 7820 7850 7860 7870 Description Data store synchronization port. In-path port for appliance-to-appliance connections. NAT port. Out-of-path server port. Failover port for redundant appliances. Connection forwarding (neighbor) port. Interceptor appliance Steelhead Mobile Controller to Steelhead Mobile Client communication

Note: Because optimization between Steelhead appliances typically takes place over a secure WAN, it is not necessary to configure company firewalls to support Steelhead specific ports. If there are one or more firewalls between two Steelhead appliances, ports 7800 and 7810, must be passed through firewall devices located between the pair of Steelhead appliances. Also, SYN and SYN/ACK packets with the TCP option 76 must be passed through firewalls for auto-discovery to function properly. For the CMC port 22 must be passed through for the firewall to function properly.

APPENDIX B

Riverbed MIB

This appendix describes the Riverbed Enterprise SNMP MIB. It contains the following sections:

Accessing the Steelhead Enterprise MIB, next SNMP Traps on page 422

Accessing the Steelhead Enterprise MIB

The Steelhead 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, 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 Steelhead Enterprise MIB using common MIB browsing utilities.

You can download the Steelhead Enterprise MIB (STEELHEAD-MIB.txt) from the help page of the Management Console or from the Riverbed Technical Support site at https://support.riverbed.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 STEELHEAD-MIB.txt file. For example, for NET-SNMP browsers: snmpwalk -m all

SNMP Traps
Alarms fire for their event only. If a service alarm is fired indicating that the service has halted, no alarm is fired when the service returns to normal operation. The following table summarizes the SNMP traps sent out from the system to configured trap receivers.
Trap procCrash (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.1) Text A procCrash trap signifies that a process managed by PM has crashed and left a core file. The variable sent with the notification indicates which process crashed. Description A process has crashed and subsequently been restarted by the system. The trap contains the name of the process that crashed. A system snapshot associated with this crash has been created on the appliance and is accessible via the CLI or the Management Console. Riverbed Technical Support may need this information to determine the cause of the crash. No other action is required on the appliance as the crashed process is automatically restarted. A process has unexpectedly exited and been restarted by the system. The trap contains the name of the process. The process may have exited on its own or due to other process failures on the appliance. Please review the release notes for known issues related to this process exit. If none exist, please contact Riverbed Technical Support to determine the cause of this event. No other action is required on the appliance as the crashed process is automatically restarted. Average CPU utilization has exceeded an acceptable threshold. If CPU utilization spikes are frequent, it may be because the system is undersized. Sustained CPU load can be symptomatic of more serious issues. Consult the CPU Utilization report to gauge how long the system has been loaded and also monitor the amount of traffic currently going through the appliance. A one-time spike in CPU is normal but extended high CPU utilization should be reported to Riverbed Technical Support. No other action is necessary as the alarm clears on its own. The system is running low on memory and has begun swapping memory pages to disk. This event can be triggered during a software upgrade while the optimization service is still running but there may be other causes which should be monitored or diagnosed. Should this event be triggered at any other time, please generate a debug sysdump and send it to Riverbed Technical Support. No other action is required as the alarm clears on its own. A disk is about to fail. Contact Riverbed Technical Support immediately. Note: Applicable to models 100, 200, 510, 520, 1010, 1020, 2010, 2510, 2511 only.

procExit (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.2)

A procExit trap signifies that a process managed by PM has exited unexpectedly, but not left a core file. The variable sent with the notification indicates which process exited. The average CPU utilization in the past minute has gone above the acceptable threshold.

cpuUtil (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.3)

pagingActivity (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.4)

The system has been paging excessively (thrashing).

smartError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.5)

SMART has sent an event about a possible disk error.

Trap peerVersionMismatch (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.6)

Text Detected a peer with a mismatched software version.

Description The appliance has encountered another appliance which is running an incompatible version of system software. The CLI, Management Console, or the SNMP peer table can be referenced to determine which appliance is causing the conflict. To resolve the problem upgrade your system software. No other action is required as the alarm clears on its own. The appliance has entered bypass mode and is now passing through all traffic unoptimized. This error is generated if the optimization service locks up or crashes. It can also be generated when the system is first turned on or turned off. If this trap is generated on a system that was previously optimizing and is still running, you should contact Riverbed Technical Support. A drive has failed in a RAID array. Consult the CLI or Management Console to determine the location of the failed drive. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support for assistance with installing the spare drive. The appliance continues to optimize during this event. After the error is corrected, the alarm clears on its own. Note: Applicable to models 3010, 3510, 3020, 3520, 5010, 5520, 6020, and 6120 only.

bypassMode (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.7)

The appliance has entered bypass (failthru) mode.

raidError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.8)

An error has been generated by the RAID array.

storeCorruption (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.9) admissionMemError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.10)

The data store is corrupted. Admission control memory alarm has been triggered.

Corruption has been detected in the data store. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support immediately. The appliance has entered admission control due to memory consumption. The appliance is optimizing traffic beyond its rated capability and is unable to handle the amount of traffic passing through the WAN link. During this event, the appliance will continue to optimize existing connections, but new connections are passed through without optimization. No other action is necessary as the alarm clears on its own when the traffic has decreased. The appliance has entered admission control due to the number of connections and is unable to handle the amount of connections going over the WAN link. During this event, the appliance continues to optimize existing connections, but new connections are passed through without optimization. No other action is necessary as the alarm clears on its own when the traffic has decreased. The optimization service has halted due to a serious software error. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support immediately. The optimization service has encountered a condition which may degrade optimization performance. Please consult the system log for more information. No other action is necessary.

admissionConnError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.11)

Admission control connections alarm has been triggered.

haltError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.12) serviceError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.13)

The service is halted due to a software error. There has been a service error. Please consult the log file.

Trap scheduledJobError (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.14)

Text A scheduled job has failed during execution.

Description A scheduled job on the system (for example, a software upgrade) has failed. Please use the CLI or the Management Console to determine which job failed. A user on the system has entered a configuration mode from either the CLI or Management Console. A log in to the Management Console by user admin sends this trap as well. This is for notification purposes only; no other action is necessary. A user on the system has exited configuration mode from either the CLI or Management Console. A log out of the Management Console by user admin sends this trap as well. This is for notification purposes only; no other action is necessary. The system has lost one of its Ethernet links due to a network event. Check the physical connectivity between the Steelhead appliance and its neighbor device. This should be investigated as soon as possible as depending on what link is down, the system might no longer be optimizing and a network outage could occur. The Steelhead appliance has detected that either NFSv2 or NFSv4 is in use. The Steelhead appliance only supports NFSv3 and will pass through all other versions. Check that the clients and servers are using NFSv3 and reconfigure if necessary. A redundant power supply on the appliance has failed on the appliance and needs to be replaced. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support for an RMA replacement as soon as practically possible. Asymmetric routing has been detected on the network. This is very likely due to a failover event of an inner router or VPN. If so, no action needs to be taken. If not, please contact Riverbed Technical Support for further troubleshooting assistance. A fan is failing or has failed and needs to be replaced. Please contact Riverbed Technical Support for an RMA replacement as soon practically possible. A memory error has been detected. A system memory stick might be failing. Try reseating the memory first. If the problem persists, please contact Riverbed Technical Support for an RMA replacement as soon as practically possible. An Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) event has been detected. Check the Alarm Status page for more detail.

Trap datastoreWrapped (enterprises.17163.1.1.4.0.25)

Text The datastore has wrapped around.

Description The data store on the Steelhead appliance went through an entire cycle and is removing data to make space for new data. This is normal behavior unless it wraps too quickly, which might indicate the data store is undersized. The appliance temperature is a configurable notification. By default, this notification is set to trigger when the appliance reached 70 degrees Celsius. Raise the alarm trigger temperature if it is normal for the Steelhead appliance to get that hot, or reduce the temperature of the Steelhead appliance. This trap/alarm triggers a critical state on the appliance. This alarm occurs when the appliance temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius. The temperature value is not user-configurable. Reduce the appliance temperature.

temperatureWarning

The system temperature has exceeded the threshold.

temperatureCritical

The system temperature has reached a critical stage.

Deployment ID. The deployment ID (DID) is used to apply policies and policy updates to groups of endpoint clients. The DID is associated with the endpoint client upon installation of a MSI package. The Steelhead Mobile Controller uses the DID to identify the client and provide their assigned policies and policy updates. DHCP. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Software that automatically assigns IP addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network. DMZ. Demilitarized Zone. A computer or small subnetwork that sits between a trusted internal network, such as a corporate private LAN, and an untrusted external network, such as the public Internet. Typically, the DMZ contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (email) servers, and DNS servers. DNS. Domain Name Service. A 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. 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. Endpoint. An endpoint is a client computer. For example, a PC or laptop. Endpoint Policy. An endpoint policy specifies machine-specific software settings for endpoint clients, such as the data store size. An endpoint policy is required for optimization to occur. Ethernet. The most widely used Local Area Network (LAN) access method. Fat Client. A client computer which provides large size applications independently of the central server. FDDI. Fiber Distributed Data Interface. A set of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) protocols for sending digital data over fiber optic cable.

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 algorithmic rules 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, FDDIs 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. 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 2. The communications protocol (called the data link layer or MAC layer) that contains the physical address of a client or server inspected by a bridge or switch. Layer 2 processing is faster than layer 3 processing, because less analysis of the packet is required. Layer 3. The communications protocol (called the network layer) that contains the logical address of a client or server station that is inspected by a router which in turn forwards it through the network. Layer 3 contains a type field so that traffic can be prioritized and forwarded based on message type as well as network destination. The IP network layer (Layer 3) accepts packets from the TCP or UDP transport layer (Layer 4), adds its own header and delivers a datagram to the data link layer protocol (Layer 2).

Glossary

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. MAC address. Unique serial number or physical station address burned into Ethernet and Token Ring adapters to identify that network card from all others. 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. MSI Package. An MSI package is the Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) used to install Mobile Client software onto endpoint clients. Multiprotocol Filer. Filer that supports both the NFS and CIFS protocols. 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. Opportunistic Lock. Also known as oplock. A lock requested by a client on a file that resides on a remote server. To prevent any compromise to data integrity, the Steelhead appliance only optimizes data where exclusive access is available (in other words, when locks are granted). When an oplock is not available, the Steelhead appliance does not perform application-level latency optimizations but still performs Scalable Data Referencing and compression on the data as well as TCP optimizations. Therefore, even without the benefits of latency optimization, Steelhead appliances still increase WAN performance, but not as effectively as when application optimizations are available. 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-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 (which 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. 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. Port Transparency. A packet addressing method in which the server port number is used in the header fields. Probe. A small utility program that is used to investigate, or test, the status of a system, network, or Web site. Proxy. An entity that acts on behalf of a network client. In a network, a client is an entity that makes a network request and a server is an entity that responds to the request. For example, your Web browser is a client which requests Web content from a Web server. A proxy can take the place of the client, meaning the client never communicates directly with the server. Instead, the client makes a connection to the proxy and the proxy makes the connection to the server, receives any responses from the server, and relays them back to the client. 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 Layer-2. SDR. Scalable Data Referencing. Process that uses a proprietary algorithm to divide data into small chunks, then references and stores the data chunks on the Steelhead appliance. Server Virtualization. Process that uses multiple virtual filers on a single filer hardware. Share. Mechanism of making a directory on a volume an IP network entity. Clients connect to shares. A share can point to any directory, even the root directory. A volume can have many shares. A share can point only to one directory in a volume. A share is not a storage management entity. 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, security, and manages configurations and collects statistics. Socket. The method of directing data to the appropriate application in a TCP/IP network. A socket is made up of the IP address of the station and a port number. Spanning Tree Protocol. An OSI layer-2 protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for a bridged LAN. 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. SYN. A synchronize packet in TCP.

SYN-ACK. To establish a connection TCP uses a three-way handshake. Before a client attempts to connect with a server, the server must first bind to a port to open it for connections (a passive open). After the passive open is established, a client can initiate an active open. To establish a connection, the three-way handshake occurs: 1) the active open is performed by the client sending a SYN to the server, 2) in response, the server replies with a SYN-ACK, 3) finally, the client sends an ACK back to the server. 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. Throttle. To adjust the CPU speed. VIF. Virtual Interface. A logical interface created for the physical interface. Like a physical Ethernet interface, each VIF can have multiple addresses assigned to it. VLAN. Virtual Local Area Network. A VLAN is an administratively configured LAN or broadcast domain. Instead of going to the wiring closet to move a cable to a different LAN, network administrators can remotely configure a port on an 802.1Q-compliant switch to belong to a different VLAN. A 802.1Q VLAN enables network administrators to move end stations to different broadcast domains by setting membership profiles for each port on centrally managed switches. Virtual Filer. Independent network entity that has its own set of IP addresses and routing tables, DNS names, and domain membership. Virtual Server. Network entity that uses its own name and IP address to serve data just like a physical server. It mounts volumes from external filers and exports shares that you can mount and access. Multiple virtual servers can share physical resources and run concurrently on the same appliance. Volume. A partition on the filer disk. A volume is not an IP network entity; you cannot ping or connect to a volume. Volumes belong to virtual servers. The volume administrator can create shares for various directories on the volume. Volumes contain shares you can export and access. When a virtual server fails over to another filer, volumes follow the virtual server. WAN Visibility Mode. Pertains to how packets traversing the WAN are addressed. XOR. Exclusive OR logic or exclusive disjunction logic. It yields true if exactly one (but not both) of two conditions is true. XOR hardware logic is used in RAID engines designed to perform complex parity calculations.
