Netra Proxy Cache Server Product Notes

Documentation Omissions

Section 13.1 of the Netra Proxy Cache Server User's Manual omits the following descriptions of the test objects that are listed in the Host Status monitoring page.

The test objects displayed in the Host Status page are as follows:

cache_connect_test

An object of type ConnectTest (5). Tests the TCP port used by the proxy cache service (8080). The test object instance is configured to test persistent TCP connections.

cache_process_test

An object of type ProcessTest (5). Tests for the presence of the process associated with the proxy cache service.

cache_test

An object of type AndTest (5). Combines the outputs from cache_connect_test and cache_process_test. Reports failure if either of these "child" test objects returns failure.

The relationship among these objects is illustrated in Figure 1-1.

Chapter 12 of the Netra Proxy Cache Server User's Manual omits a procedure for moving the Netra Proxy Cache Server from one subnet to another. That procedure is presented here.

To Move a Netra Proxy Cache Server from One Subnet to Another

This procedure requires that you establish a serial (TTY) connection to the server. See Appendix A of the Netra Proxy Cache Server Configuration Guide for instructions on connecting a serial terminal to the server.

  1. If you use DNS or NIS, register the new host name-to-address mapping in the name service.

  2. In the Netra Main Administration page, use the Restart/Shutdown link to shutdown the server.

  3. Disconnect the server from the subnet and connect the machine to its new subnet.

  4. Perform network interface configuration, as described in Chapter 2 of the Netra Proxy Cache Server Configuration Guide.

    You must use the TTY, rather than the diskette, method of network interface configuration.

  5. Point your browser at the server and load the Netra Main Administration page.

  6. In the Netra Main Administration page, use the Host Name link to update the server's host name.

  7. In the Netra Main Administration page, use the Restart/Shutdown link to restart the server.
