Cache size

Select the amount of memory (RAM) on the CyberGuard SG appliance to be reserved for caching Internet objects. The maximum amount of memory you can safely reserve will depend on what other services the CyberGuard SG appliance has running, such as VPN or a DHCP server.

If you will be using a Network Share (recommended, see below), it is generally best to set this to 8 Megabytes.

If you are unable to use a Network Share, start with a small cache (8 Megabytes or 16 Megabytes) and gradually increase it until you find a safe upper limit where the CyberGuard SG appliance can still operate reliably.
