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.
