Cabletron Systems 9032578-05 Configuration Example, Other Configurations, Bypassing Cache Servers

Chapter 17: Web Hosting Configuration Guide

Configuration Example

In the following example, a cache group of seven local servers is configured to store Web objects for users in the local network:

Cache1

s2 Servers: 186.89.10.51 186.89.10.55

s1 Servers: 176.89.10.50 176.89.10.51 176.89.10.52 176.89.10.53 176.89.10.54

Router

Users

ip1

Global Internet

The following commands configure the cache group ‘cache1’ that contains the servers shown in the figure above and applies the caching policy to the interface ‘ip1’:

ssr(config)# web-cache cache1 create server-list s1 range “176.89.10.50 176.89.10.54”

ssr(config)# web-cache cache1 create server-list s2 list “186.89.10.51 186.89.10.55”

ssr(config)# web-cache cache1 apply interface ip1

Note that in this example, HTTP requests from all hosts in the network are redirected as there are no web-cache permit or web-cache deny commands.
