Issue/Introduction

PacketShaper determines an IP host's sidedness depending on whether the host IP is learned from the INSIDE interface or the OUTSIDE interface.

If the host is connecting to the INSIDE interface of PacketShaper, it will be learned as an Inside host.

To view the sidedness of an IP Host, you can issue the command host info <IP Address>

The command output below shows 10.105.13.10 as an Inside host (there is an "I" after the IP address).

 The command output below shows 8.8.8.8 as an Outside host (there is an "O" after the IP address).
