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. |
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 |
| |
| 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. |

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 |
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. |
