Create or edit a WAN optimization profile

To configure WAN optimization profiles, go to WAN Optimization > Profiles. The Edit WAN Optimization Profile page is displayed.

Configure the following settings and then select Apply to save your changes:

drop-down list	Select a profile to edit from the drop-down list. See To create a WAN optimization profile:.
Create New icon	Create a WAN optimization profile. See To edit a WAN optimization profile:.
Clone icon	Clone the current profile. See To clone a WAN optimization profile:.
List icon	View the WAN optimization profile list. See Profiles.
Name	Enter a name for the WAN optimization profile.
Comments	Optionally, enter a description of the profile.
Transparent Mode	Enable or disable transparent mode. For more information about the WAN optimization transparent mode, see WAN optimization transparent mode.
Authentication Group	Enable to select the authentication group from the drop-down list that will be applied to the WAN optimization profile. To create an authentication group, see Create or edit an authentication group.
Protocol	Select the protocols that are enabled for this profile: CIFS, FTP, HTTP, MAPI, and TCP. NOTE: The FortiProxy unit supports WAN optimization for SMBv1, SMBv2 and SMBv3 (unencrypted only) protocols.
SSL Offloading	Select to enable SSL offloading. SSL offloading offloads SSL decryption and encryption from web servers onto FortiProxy SSL acceleration hardware. It is only available for HTTP and TCP protocols.
Secure Tunneling	Select to enable secure tunneling. To use secure tunneling, it must be enabled for a protocol, and an authentication group must be added. The authentication group specifies the certificate or pre-shared key used to set up the secure tunnel. The Peer Acceptance setting of the authentication group does not affect secure tunneling. The FortiProxy units at each end of the secure tunnel must have the same authentication group with the same name and the same configuration, including the same pre-shared key or certificate.
Byte Caching	Select to enable byte caching. Byte caching breaks large units of application data (for example, a file being downloaded from a web page) into small chunks of data, labeling each chunk of data with a hash of the chunk and storing those chunks and their hashes in a database. The database is stored on a WAN optimization storage device.
