# DP Bypass

In order to get the most out of Adaptiva's OneSite WAN optimization and P2P features, the DP Bypass (Distribution Point Bypass) feature prevents Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) clients from downloading directly from a DP. This effectively reduces WAN traffic and allow clients to use peer-to-peer functionality. Additionally, you can setup up DP Fallback settings to control what happens when content fails to download.

These features require an Adaptiva OneSite client to be installed on all the management points for this ConfigMgr site.

* **DP Bypass**
  * Prevents ConfigMgr clients from using ConfigMgr Distribution Points regardless of whether Adaptiva OneSite is installed on the client. This setting is useful in the case where the Adaptiva Client is not installed, the service is disabled, or the ConfigMgr client is failing to invoke the Alternate Content Provider and an administrator wants to prevent clients from downloading content over the WAN.
* **DP Fallback**
  * Controls the behavior of the Adaptiva Client in various scenarios for when it should fallback to a ConfigMgr Distribution Point or fail a content download.

## DP Bypass Settings

Enable DP Bypass to ensure only Adaptiva is responsible for content downloads.

DP Bypass should NOT be enabled if clients must be allowed to fallback to a Distribution Point, such as when content is sourced from Windows Update.

{% hint style="info" %}
The Adaptiva Client must be installed on all the Management Points for the ConfigMgr site.

Once the Adaptiva Client is installed on the Management Points, they should be added to a ConfigMgr collection to be used for targeting this policy.

To add the Management Point servers to a collection requires the servers to be discovered. The ConfigMgr client does NOT have to be installed.
{% endhint %}

1. Click **Settings > DP Bypass**

   ![](/files/4CXMBjM4VKAQXRE77sOh)
2. Toggle **ON** **Enable DP Bypass**.
3. Click **Browse** next to **Management Point Groups**.

   Select a collection that contains the server(s) hosting the ConfigMgr Management Point role. It is recommended to include **ALL** Management Point servers.
4. Select one or more Groups.
5. Click **OK**
6. Click **Save**

### DP Fallback Settings

{% hint style="info" %}
Default settings are recommended for DP Fallback settings.

When using the Pre-ACP Workflow, this MUST be left at the default of Fallback to DP.
{% endhint %}

1. Select the **DP Fallback Settings** tab.

   ![](/files/LhXyRIVyjQCLTkWTZifY)

   Select the desired radio button for each scenario:

   * **Fall Back To DP** -- Obtain Content From A Distribution Point
   * **Fail Content Download** -- Report Content Download Failure
     * **Content Not Published** -- Default: Fall Back To Distribution Point
     * **Download Cancelled in ConfigMgr** -- Default: Fail Content Download
     * **Download Cancelled By Adaptiva** -- Default: Fail Content Download
     * **Download Failed** -- Default: Fail Content Download
     * **Invalid OneSite License** -- Default: Fall Back to Distribution Point
2. Click **Save**
