Volume 9: Managing the Blue Coat SG Appliance

Management Console	A graphical Web interface that lets you to manage, configure, monitor, and upgrade
	the SG appliance from any location. The Management Console consists of a set of
	Web pages and Java applets stored on the SG appliance. The appliance acts as a Web
	server on the management port to serve these pages and applets.
management information	Defines the statistics that management systems can collect. A managed device
base (MIB)	(gateway) has one or more MIBs as well as one or more SNMP agents, which
	implements the information and management functionality defined by a specific
	MIB.
maximum object size	The maximum object size stored in the SG appliance. All objects retrieved that are
	greater than the maximum size are delivered to the client but are not stored in the SG
	appliance.
MIME/FILE type filtering	Allows organizations to implement Internet policies for both uploaded and
	downloaded content by MIME or FILE type.
multi-bit rate	The capability of a single stream to deliver multiple bit rates to clients requesting
	content from appliances from within varying levels of network conditions (such as
	different connecting bandwidths and traffic).
multicast	Used in streaming; the ability for hundreds or thousands of users to play a single
	stream.
multicast aliases	Used in streaming; a streaming command that specifies an alias for a multicast URL
	to receive an .nsc file. The .nsc files allows the multicast session to obtain the
	information in the control channel
multicast station	Used in streaming; a defined location on the proxy where the Windows Media player
	can retrieve streams. A multicast station enables multicast transmission of Windows
	Media content from the cache. The source of the multicast-delivered content can be a
	unicast-live source, a multicast (live) source, and simulated live (video-on-demand
	content converted to scheduled live content).
multimedia content services	Used in streaming; multimedia support includes Real Networks, Microsoft Windows
	Media, Apple QuickTime, MP3, and Flash.
N
name inputing	Allows an SG appliance to resolve host names based on a partial name specification.
	When a host name is submitted to the DNS server, the DNS server resolves the name
	to an IP address. If the host name cannot be resolved, Blue Coat adds the first entry in
	the name-inputing list to the end of the host name and resubmits it to the DNS server
native FTP	Native FTP involves the client connecting (either explicitly or transparently) using
	the FTP protocol; the SG appliance then connects upstream through FTP (if
	necessary).
NCSA common log format	Blue Coat products are compatible with this log type, which contains only basic
	HTTP access information.
network address translation	The process of translating private network (such as intranet) IP addresses to Internet
(NAT)	IP addresses and vice versa. This methodology makes it possible to match private IP
	addresses to Internet IP addresses even when the number of private addresses
	outnumbers the pool of available Internet addresses.
