Configuring optimization
Management streamlining refers to the methods that Riverbed has developed to simplify the
deployment and management of RiOS devices. These methods include:
•
Autodiscovery process
, which enables SteelHeads and Client Accelerator to automatically find
remote SteelHeads, and to then optimize traffic using them. Enhanced autodiscovery automatically
discovers the last SteelHead in the network path of the TCP connection. Autodiscovery relieves you
from having to manually configure large amounts of network information. The autodiscovery
process enables administrators to control and secure connections, specify which traffic is to be
optimized, and specify peers for optimization.
•
SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead (SCC)
, which automatically configures and monitors remote
SteelHeads. It also gives you a single view of the overall benefit and health of the SteelHead
network. SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead’s central management console dramatically
improves the management and usability of control capabilities. The SCC features an intuitive
interface and management plane based on high-level abstractions such as applications, sites,
uplinks, or networks that match the way you view your IT environment. With SCC, you can
implement new, more efficient configuration and change management workflows that make
hybrid-networking capabilities truly usable at scale.
•
Client Accelerator Controller
(
Client Accelerator
)
, which tracks the individual health and
performance of each deployed software client, and manages enterprise client licensing. The SCCM
enables you to see who is connected, view their data reduction statistics, and perform support
operations such as resetting connections, pulling logs, and automatically generating traces for
troubleshooting. You can perform all of these management tasks without end user input.
For detailed information about how the SteelHead works and deployment design principles, see the
SteelHead Deployment Guide

Configuring optimization
You configure optimization of traffic using the Management Console or the Riverbed CLI. You configure
the type of traffic a SteelHead optimizes and specify the type of action it performs using:
In-Path rules
In-path rules determine the action a SteelHead takes when a connection is initiated, usually by a client.
In-path rules are used only when a connection is initiated. Because connections are usually initiated by
clients, in-path rules are configured for the initiating, or client-side SteelHead. You configure one of
these types of in-path rule actions:
•
Auto discover
- Use the autodiscovery process to determine if a remote SteelHead is able to
optimize the connection attempting to be created by this SYN packet.
•
Fixed-target
- Skip the autodiscovery process and use a specified remote SteelHead as an
optimization peer. Fixed-target rules require the input of at least one remote target SteelHead; an
optional backup SteelHead might also be specified.
•
Fixed-target (packet mode optimization)
- Skip the autodiscovery process and use a specified
remote SteelHead as an optimization peer to perform bandwidth optimization on TCPv4, TCPv6,
UDPv4, or UDPv6 connections. Packet-mode optimization rules support both physical in-path and
master/backup SteelHead configurations. For details, see the
SteelHead User Guide
