Best practices

WAN optimization and explicit proxy best practices include:

  • WAN optimization tunnel sharing is recommended for similar types of WAN optimization traffic. However, tunnel sharing for different types of traffic is not recommended. For example, aggressive and non-aggressive protocols should not share the same tunnel.

  • Active-passive HA is the recommended HA configuration for WAN optimization.

  • Configure WAN optimization authentication with specific peers. Accepting any peer is not recommended as this can be less secure.
