Chapter 3 CLI Commands

(config) bypass

To configure static bypass lists on a WAE, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the

bypass feature (clear the static bypass lists), use the no form of this command.

bypass static {clientip | any-client} {serverip | any-server}

Syntax Description

Defaults No default behaviors or values

Command Modes global configuration

Device Modes application-accelerator

Usage Guidelines Using a static bypass allows traffic flows between a configurable set of clients and file servers to bypass

handling by the WAE. By configuring static bypass entries on the Edge WAE, you can control traffic

interception without modifying the router configuration. Separately, if so desired, IP access lists may be

configured on the router to bypass traffic without first redirecting it to the Edge WAE. Typically, the

WCCP accept list defines the group of file servers that are cached (and the file servers that are not). Static

bypass can be used in rare cases when you want to prevent WAAS from caching a connection from a

certain client to a certain file server (or from a certain client to all file servers).

The bypass static command permits traffic from specified sources to bypass the WAE. Wildcards in

either the client or server IP addresses are not supported.

Note We recommend that you use IP access lists on the WCCP-enabled router, rather than using the static

bypass feature, because access lists are more efficient.

Examples The following example forces traffic from a specified client to a specified server to bypass the WAE:

WAE(config)# bypass static 10.1.17.1 172.16.7.52

The following example forces all traffic destined to a specified server to bypass the WAE:

WAE(config)# bypass static any-client 172.16.7.52

The following example forces all traffic from a specified client to any file server to bypass the WAE:

WAE(config)# bypass static 10.1.17.1 any-server

static Adds a static entry to the bypass list.

clientip Requests from this IP address bypass the WAE.

any-client Bypasses the traffic from any client destined to a particular server.

serverip Requests from this IP address bypass the WAE.

any-server Requests from a specified client to any server bypass the WAE.
