Setting the
Primary
Interface
During the initial configuration of the HP EFS WAN Accelerator you assigned a
primary interface to the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, check or modify your settings in
the Setup: Host Settings - Interface Primary page.
If your network routers or switches do not automatically negotiate the speed and
duplex, you must manually set the speed and duplex for the primary interface.
IMPORTANT: The speed and duplex must match (LAN and WAN) in an in-path configuration.
If they do not match, you might have a large number of errors on the interface when it is in
bypass mode, because the switch and router are not set with the same settings.
To set the primary
interface
1. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup: Optimization Service - General Settings
page.
2. Click Host Settings in the left menu to display the Setup: Host Settings - Interface:
Primary page.
