A global logistics company is experiencing inconsistent optimization for their custom-built inventory management application, which communicates over TCP port 8443. Analysis reveals that traffic is intermittently passed through without optimization. The network architect suspects asymmetric routing. Which SteelHead CLI command would be most effective in confirming this specific issue?
An engineer is configuring SSL optimization for traffic destined for a server that uses a certificate signed by a well-known public Certificate Authority (e.g., DigiCert). Which component is essential on the server-side SteelHead to correctly intercept and optimize this traffic without causing trust errors on the client's browser?
A company is deploying SteelHeads to optimize SMBv3 traffic between its headquarters and a branch office. The security policy mandates that all SMBv3 traffic must be encrypted. The administrator has enabled SMBv3 optimization and configured signing on both SteelHeads. However, reports show no data reduction for this traffic. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
A network administrator is reviewing the QoS configuration on a SteelHead appliance. They notice that an application classified as 'Real-Time' is experiencing poor performance during periods of high network congestion. Which TWO QoS settings should be investigated to prioritize this traffic effectively? (Select TWO)
True or False: When a SteelHead appliance is deployed in a virtual in-path mode using WCCP, the appliance's in-path interface must be configured with an IP address on the same subnet as the router performing the redirection.
A system administrator needs to upgrade the RiOS software on a pair of SteelHeads in a high-availability (HA) configuration. What is the recommended procedure to minimize downtime?
After deploying SteelHead-c in AWS, an administrator notices that no traffic is being optimized. The deployment uses path selection rules to direct traffic from a branch office to the AWS VPC. Which of the following is a primary troubleshooting step to verify traffic is reaching the SteelHead-c instance?
The command `protocol smb signing ____` is used to configure the SteelHead's behavior for SMB signing. To ensure the SteelHead optimizes traffic when the client requests signing but the server does not, which parameter should be used in the blank?
A university is using SteelHeads to optimize traffic for its online learning platform. During peak usage, the SteelHead's CPU utilization is consistently above 90%, and connection admission control begins to drop new connections. Which report in the SteelHead management console is most useful for identifying the specific applications or traffic types consuming the most CPU resources?
Case Study: A retail corporation, 'GlobalMart', has a central data center and 500 branch stores. Each store has a SteelHead CX appliance, and the data center has a SteelHead cluster. They are heavily reliant on an encrypted Point-of-Sale (POS) application that uses a proprietary TCP protocol on port 9100. They also use encrypted MAPI for corporate email. The network team has been tasked with optimizing both applications. They have successfully joined the data center SteelHeads to the domain for MAPI optimization. However, the POS application traffic remains unoptimized, showing as 'Passthrough (Encrypt)' in the connection reports. The security team has prohibited installing the SteelHead's private CA certificate on the POS terminals in the stores. Which solution would allow GlobalMart to optimize the proprietary POS application traffic without compromising the security team's requirement?
