Setting ICP options, Establishing ICP peers | Intel 1520 specs

Setting ICP options

In the ICP section you can establish ICP peers.

The following table describes the ICP options.

Option	Description

ICP Mode	Enables or disables ICP mode:
	❚ Only Receive Queries
	❚ Send/Receive Queries
	❚ Disabled

ICP Port	Specifies the port to use for ICP messages. The default
	port is 3130.

ICP Multicast	Enables or disables multicast. If your appliance has a
enabled on/off	multicast channel connection to its ICP peers, it can send
	ICP messages through multicast.

ICP query	Specifies the timeout for ICP queries in seconds.
timeout

ICP Peers	View or modify the appliance’s ICP hierarchy.

Establishing ICP peers

For ICP to work, the appliance must recognize its ICP neighbors (siblings and parents).
