To enable the PEP functionality, use the CLI command
ip pep enable [<mode>]
, where <mode>
can assume the values
redirect
or
trans
. To verify that the PEP functionality has been enabled, type
ip pep show.
The CLI command sequence to configure and enable the PEP functionality is recapitulated below:
Example:
# sw license pep mykeyforenablingpep
# ip pep server 10.0.0.10
# ip pep enable redirect
# ip pep show
(to verify that the functionality is enabled)
PEP Status : enabled
PEP TCP Mode : Redirect Mode
PEP TCP Server Address : 137.133.81.40
Maximum Connections : 512
Current Connections : 178
Total Connections : 584928
Transp Connections : 0
Failed Connections : 0
Received Segments : 29411430
Out of sequence Segments : 12338

The CLI command
i

displays current PEP configuration in addition to PEP status
information. Table 11 provides a short description of the displayed parameters.
Parameters
Description
PEP status
Indicates whether the PEP functionality in the terminal is enabled or disabled.
PEP Mode
Indicates whether the terminal is configured in Redirect or Transparent Mode
PEP ServerAddress
Shows that IP address of the Gateway PEP Server that the terminal PEP client
is configured to interact with.
Maximum Connections Shows the maximum number of TCP connections that the terminal PEP client
can handle simultaneously.
Current Connections
Indicates the number of TCP connections that is handled by the terminal PEP
client at the moment.
Total Connections
Indicates the total number of TCP connections that has been handled by the
PEP client since the PEP functionality was enabled.
Trans Connections
Once the number of connections exceeds the threshold Maximum Connections
(i.e. 250 connections), the additional new connections are established without
performance enhancement techniques being applied to these. The parameter
Trans Connections indicates the number of connections that are passed
“transparently” through the terminal without PEP due to the Maximum
Connection threshold being exceeded.
Failed Connections
Indicates the number of connections that were attempted established, but did
not succeed.
