Field | Description | 
  | 
  | 
Hostname  | The hostname for the ICP host. You do not have to enter  | 
  | a hostname if you know the host IP address.  | 
  | If you enter a hostname but leave the IP address as  | 
  | 0.0.0.0, the ICP configuration obtains the host IP  | 
  | address via a DNS lookup on the entered hostname.  | 
  | Therefore, if you do not know the IP address, simply  | 
  | leave it as 0.0.0.0.  | 
  | 
  | 
Host IP  | The host IP address.  | 
  | If you enter an IP address other than 0.0.0.0, the ICP  | 
  | configuration uses the IP address to identify the host.  | 
  | Otherwise, the ICP configuration requires a hostname.  | 
  | 
  | 
Type  | ICP host type. Use one of the following options:  | 
  | ❚ 1 specifies a parent cache  | 
  | ❚ 2 specifies a sibling cache  | 
  | ❚ 3 specifies the local host  | 
  | Option 3 is reserved for the appliance. In option 3, the  | 
  | hostname must be localhost and the host IP address  | 
  | must be 0.0.0.0. The ICP configuration enforces this  | 
  | convention.  | 
  | 
  | 
Proxy Port  | The appliance’s proxy port (usually 8080).  | 
  | 
  | 
ICP Port  | The UDP port used for ICP (usually 3130).  | 
  | 
  | 
Multicast Member  | Indicates whether the host is on a multicast network with  | 
  | the appliance. Use one of the following options:  | 
  | ❚ No  | 
  | ❚ Yes  | 
  | 
  | 
Multicast IP  | The multicast IP address.  | 
  | 
  | 
Multicast TTL  | The multicast datagram time to live. Use one of the  | 
  | following options:  | 
  | ❚ 1: specifies that IP multicast datagrams will not be  | 
  | forwarded beyond a single subnetwork.  | 
  | ❚ 2: allows delivery of IP multicast datagrams to more  | 
  | than one subnet if there are one or more multicast  | 
  | routers attached to the first hop subnet.  |
