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. |
