For in-line mode, you must assign an IP address to the in-path interface which bridges the LAN and
WAN interfaces.
In FX nomenclature, the "WAN" interface is considered to be the interface which is connected to the
satellite modems and the LAN interface is connected to the internet or to enterprise servers or
clients.
Routed Mode:
Traffic must be directed to these interfaces by a router. You must assign an IP address to the in-path
interface which will receive traffic from the router. There is no "fail-to-wire" capability if there is a
service disruption.
WCCP mode:
Traffic is redirected to the FX by a Cisco router via WCCP.
Disabled Mode:
Traffic redirection is effectively shut off.
VLAN Mode:
Controls how the FX will process VLAN tags. In 'Trunk' mode, the VLAN tags are already embedded in the
packets when they are intercepted by the FX. In 'Access' mode, the FX will add tags to untagged traffic.
The default setting is 'Trunk'.
Note: Changing either the 'Traffic interception mode' or 'VLAN mode' settings will automatically
trigger a restart of the acceleration service.
Fail-to-wire Mode:
The FX will go into bypass mode it is not accelerating traffic or if it is powered off. If disabled, it will not go
into bypass mode which will prevent packets from being forwarded through the FX. If the FX is adding the
VLAN tags to the traffic, it may be desirable to disable 'Fail-to-wire' mode to prevent untagged traffic from
entering a network. Note: The FX-1010 does not support fail-to-wire mode. The default setting is
"Enabled".
