Fast Accel

The Fast Accel page appears in the WebUI of appliances running version R81.10.15 and higher. For version R81.10.10 and lower, see the Smart Accel page.

Bypass

In this section, you can specify for which objects to bypass SSL and Firewall policy traffic inspection.

Use case - If you have connectivity issues in your office and want to understand the cause (which device), bypass inspection for a particular asset to see if this speeds up packet transmission. Note that bypassing inspection makes the network less secure.

    • Asset type - Select or clear the checkboxes for the relevant assets, for example computer or smart TV, and click Save.

      Note - All connected assets are listed here and on the IoT page.

    • Single asset - Specify the device by its MAC address.

      1. In the New Device Object window, enter the Host MAC address.

      2. Select one of these options:

        • Use Fast Accel to bypass the host with this MAC address
