A server side SteelHead deployment is to be out-of-path (SSOOP).

A: OOP configuration does not support auto-discovery. You must create a fixed-target rule on the clientside Steelhead.

C: An out-of-path deployment is generally located on the server-side and is often described as a server-side outof-path deployment.

In an out-of-path deployment, only a SteelHead primary interface is required to connect to the network. The SteelHead can be connected anywhere in the LAN. An out-of-path SteelHead deployment does not have a redirecting device. You configure fixed-target in-path rules for the client-side SteelHead. The fixed-target in-path rules point to the primary IP address of the out-of-path SteelHead. The out-of-path SteelHead uses its primary IP address when communicating to the server. The remote SteelHead must be deployed either in a physical or virtual in-path mode.
