Configuring the Optimization Services

The Manage Optimization Services dialog allows you to start, stop, and disable the optimization services running on the Exinda appliance. Ensure that the service that you need is running. To find the Management Optimization Services controls, go to Configuration > System > Optimization > Services.

CAUTION

If a service is disabled, any concurrently accelerated connections remain untouched, that is acceleration continues, whereas any new connections are not be able to use the service. When a service is stopped, all accelerated connections (new and concurrent) stop using the service immediately. Stopping services like SMB, TCPTransmission Control Protocol, and WANWide Area Network Memory might cause a failure in currently accelerated connections requiring them to be re-established.

Managing Optimization Compatibility

To enable compatibility with Exinda appliances that are running older firmware, you can manage the services that interact with these appliances. Go to Configuration > System > Optimization > Services. At the bottom of the page you can start, restart, and stop the Exinda Community service (for pre v6.4.0 appliances) and the SMB Acceleration service (for pre v6.3.0 appliances).
