Chapter: FX Series ADC Specific Settings
Section: Port Definitions
MN-FXSERIESADM6 Rev 5
Accelerated HTTP/L5:
This choice specifies that you want the ADC to use this port to service the HTTP Acceleration
Protocol (HAP) that has been extended to also accelerate non-HTTP TCP/IP based protocols at
layer 5. Accelerated HTTP/L5 is only available if you have deployed the acceleration plug-in to
your remote users.
Autosense:
This setting supports the AOD injection where both HTTP traffic and accelerated HTTP can flow
over the same port.
Comment:
This provides a place to store any user defined comment to describe the rationale for this port definition.
Status:
This allows you to control whether this port definition is enabled or disabled.
5.2.2 Example Port Definitions
By default, port definitions are not required to function as a one-sided FX Series ADC or as a head-end
serving FX Series Remote appliances.
The table below shows port definition setting examples:
5.2.3 Setting up an HTTP Forward Proxy
A forward proxy requires that an end user specifically set their browser proxy settings such that port 80
traffic is specifically directed to the IP address of an in-path interface of the ADC on a specific port (usually
8080). In order to get this to work some additional steps are required:
1. An L5 Policy must be defined for port 8080 traffic.
2. This L5 policy must have the “certified application” set as “HTTP Traffic”.
3. This L5 policy must have “Protocol” defined as “Generic TCP”.
The “Protocol” on the “Port Definition” must be defined as “HTTP”.
IP Port Protocol - SLL Typical Use
any 80 HTTP / Acc.
HTTP - Autosense Transparent redirection with capability to
inject AOD.
any 8080 HTTP Forward proxy of HTTP traffic from standard
browsers
any 4917 Acc. HTTP/L5
Accelerated traffic between standard and
advanced clients and FX Series ADC
