Exinda CLI: Optimizer

Overview

 

This article provides information on the Exinda CLI command: optimizer. 

You can use the optimizer command to manage the running state of the optimizer engine.

 

Information

 

NOTE:  The following syntax convention is used:
  • {}: Options are enclosed in braces and are separated by '|'.
  • []: Optional keywords are enclosed in brackets.
  • <>: User input is required where variables are enclosed in greater-than and less-than symbols.

 

The following table describes the commands used for managing the operational state of the optimizer and configuring the optimizer:

 

Action Description

 Command Parameter Description

To enable the optimizer

 optimizer enable Not Applicable 

To stop the optimizer

 no optimizer enable Not Applicable 

To restart the optimizer

 optimizer restart Not Applicable 

To install pre-configured default policies based on the policy wizard

   		optimizer default accelerate

Install the default acceleration policy set
optimizer default accelerateqos {dualvc|singlevc}

Install one of the default QoS with acceleration policy sets:

  • dualvc - Install the default enterprise QoS with acceleration policy set with two virtual circuits
  • singlevc - Install the default enterprise QoS with acceleration policy set with a single virtual circuit
optimizer default qos {enterprise {dualvc|singlevc} | serviceprovider} inbound <bandwidth (kbps)> outbound <bandwidth <kbps>

Install one of the default QoS policy sets:

  • enterprise dualvc - Install the default enterprise QoS policy set with two virtual circuits
  • enterprise singlevc - Install the default enterprise QoS policy set with a single virtual circuit
  • serviceprovider - Install the default serviceprovider QoS policy set (with a single virtual circuit)
To specify how policies are applied in multi-bridge deployments (Global QoS) optimizer global-qos enable

Enable global QoS. Optimizer policies are applied globally, to the entire system.

For example, if there were a single policy to restrict all traffic to 1Mbps, this would be applied across all bridges. So, the sum of all traffic through all the bridges would not exceed 1Mbps. This is typically used when you are using multiple bridges and wish to QoS everything as one link.
no optimizer global-qos enable

Disable global Qos. Optimizer policies are applied to each bridge (LAN and WAN pair) independently. For example, if there were a single policy to restrict all traffic to 1Mbps, this would be applied independently to all bridges. So, the traffic through each bridge would not exceed 1Mbps.
optimizer global-qos mq mode {auto-license|single|multi|multi-per-vc}

Specify how policy queues will be handled across CPUs. For more information refer to How traffic-shaping queue modes work.

  • mq mode auto-license - Let the appliance automatically select single or multi-queue configuration based on license
  • mq mode single - Use a single global policy queue in memory to handle the traffic shaping of all virtual circuits
  • mq mode multi - Use one policy queue per CPU where the flows of a given virtual circuit are divided evenly amongst the policy queues.
  • mq mode multi-per-vc - Use one policy queue per CPU where each virtual circuit is assigned to a single policy queue.
optimizer global-qos mq switch-bandwidth <bandwidth [G|M|k]>

This command should not be used. This indicates when the auto-license mode switches between single or multi-queue mode. However, this is based on license level so it should not be overwritten and may not work as expected if modified.
