Setting Up the Webcache for Management 37
Webcache to your live network. In particular, ensure that the IP settings
of the Webcache fit into those of your network. For more information,
see “Getting Started Wizard Settings” on page 43.
Before You Begin To setup the Webcache for management, you must correctly configure it
with the following information. Ensure that you have this information for
the Webcache ready before you begin.
■ An IP address — for more information, see “IP Addresses” on
page 45.
■ A subnet mask — for more information, see “Subnets and Using a
Subnet Mask” on page 46.
■ A default router address — for more information, see “Default
Router” on page 46.
■ A Domain Name System (DNS) server address — for more
information, see “Domain Name System” on page 47.
■ A Network Time Protocol (NTP) address — for more information,
see the “System Time” chapter on page 67. You can choose to enter
the system time manually instead of using NTP.
■ A Host Name — The Host Name is combined with the Domain
Name System domain to give the internet name of the Webcache.
The host name is the name of the Webcache within the local domain.
■ A Domain Name System (DNS) domain — The Domain Name
System domain is combined with the Host Name to give the internet
name of the Webcache. The domain name is a grouping of computers
with related properties. For example you might group all computers in
your company in the domain
mycompany.com.
Example
The internet (DNS) name
webcache.mycompany.com is formed by
combining the Host Name
webcache with the DNS domain
mycompany.com.
■ A Caching Mode — for more information, see “Deploying the
Webcache in Your Network” on page 33.
■ A Caching Port Number — The Caching Port Number is the port on
which the Webcache will listen for traffic. The default number is 8080.
The caching port number is only required if you set the Caching Mode
to “Proxy Mode”.
