Exinda CLI: Virtual Circuits

Author: Sughra Mehdi Updated

Overview

 

This article provides information on the Exinda CLI command circuit ... vcircuit.

You can use the circuit ... vcircuit command to configure virtual circuits (logical definitions that partition a physical network circuit and used to determine what traffic passes through it and how much) within an existing circuit.

 

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 performing common actions related to virtual circuits:

Action Description Command

Parameter Description
To set the virtual circuit ordering number circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> order <num>

order <num> - Set the order of the virtual circuit within the circuit.
To set the bandwidth for this virtual circuit circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> bandwidth <amount> {kbps|%}

<amount> {kbps|%} - Set the amount of bandwidth as kbps or as a percentage. If kbps or % are not specified, kbps is used.
To set the filter settings for matching traffic circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> {{app-group|app-name}|connection-limit|network-object|schedule|vlan}
  • schedule - Set the schedule for matching traffic.
  • app-group - Set the application group for matching traffic.
  • app-name - Set the application for matching traffic. Only an application group or application can be specified.
  • vlan - Set the VLAN for matching traffic.
  • network-object <name> - Set the Network Object to match.
  • connection-limit <num> - Limit the number of connections that can be handled by this virtual circuit. Connections exceeding this limit will be passed on for evaluation by the next virtual circuit. "0" mean no connection limit.
  • direction {inbound|outbound|both} - Set the direction of the traffic for matching traffic. Values can be inbound, outbound, or both (bi-directional).
To set dynamic virtual circuit settings circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> dynamic bandwidth {burst|guaranteed}

Specify the Dynamic Virtual Circuit bandwidth values. If kbps or % are not specified, kbps is used.

  • bandwidth burst {auto|<amount> {kbps|%} - Configure the burst per-host bandwidth for the dynamic virtual circuit. This can be specified as auto configured or as an amount specified as kbps or as a percentage of the virtual circuit.
  • bandwidth guaranteed <amount> {kbps|%} - Configure the guaranteed per-host bandwidth for the dynamic virtual circuit specified as kbps or as a percentage of the virtual circuit.

circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> dynamic enable

 Enable/disable Dynamic Virtual Circuit.
circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> dynamic external

Specify that the bandwidth is shared amongst hosts that are on the external side of the appliance
circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> dynamic internal

Specify that the bandwidth is shared amongst hosts are on the internal side of the appliance.
circuit <circuit-name> vcircuit <name> dynamic host-limit <num>

Specify the number of unique hosts that will be managed by this virtual circuit.
To delete a virtual circuit

no circuit <circuit_name> vcircuit <vcircuit_name>

 Not Applicable 

 

Example

Create a virtual circuit that captures all traffic in both directions and assign it 200kbps.

circuit circuit_1 vcircuit VC1 order 1 
circuit circuit_1 vcircuit VC1 bandwidth 200 kbps 
circuit circuit_1 vcircuit VC1 direction both 
circuit circuit_1 vcircuit VC1 network-object ALL
