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.
