Define Xpress-IP Settings

Xpress compression and acceleration require that each network interface (built-in and LEMs) on the PacketShaper be assigned a unique IP address, called an Xpress-IP address. The Xpress-IP (XIP) address is used for establishing tunnels between PacketShapers.

Until you assign XIP addresses, PacketWise will not be able to set up tunnels for compression, packing, or acceleration.

To configure Xpress-IP addresses:

1. Click the xpress tab.

2. Click xpress-ip settings. The Xpress-IP Settings window appears.  show screen

3. For each network interface (built-in or LEM) you want to use for Xpress tunneling, fill in the following information:

4. Click OK to update the settings.

Note that when you assign or change XIP addresses, Xpress will tear down existing tunnels and establish new tunnels using the new addresses.

If you clear all XIP addresses, Xpress will not be able to create tunnels and compression, packing, and acceleration will not work.
