For example, if the network IP address is 172.16.20.0/24, you can assign any IP address from
172.16.20.1 to 172.16.20.254 for the SteelHead in-path interface.
4. Under IPv4 Gateway, specify the default gateway. Write down this IP address. You will use this
address when you configure the default gateway for WAN optimization on the virtual SteelHead
instance.
Enabling WAN Optimization in SCM
You enable WAN optimization in SCM in the Appliances page under the Services tab. You also specify
the virtual SteelHead instance in-path IP address. The in-path IP address must be within the LAN zone
subnet that you have defined.
