Configuring Upstream Hosts
The Upstream Hosts table lets you configure up to 50 Upstream Hosts. The Upstream Hosts table
is a "child" of the Upstream Group table (see Configuring Upstream Groups on page272) and
therefore, Upstream Hosts are configured per Upstream Group. Up to 5 Upstream Hosts can be
configured per Upstream Group.
The following procedure describes how to configure Upstream Hosts through the Web interface.
You can also configure it through ini file [UpstreamHost] or CLI (configure network > http-
proxy > upstream-host).
➢ To configure an Upstream Host:
1. Open the Upstream Groups table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > HTTP Proxy folder >
Upstream Groups).
2. In the table, select the required Upstream Group index row, and then click the Upstream
Hosts link located below the table; the Upstream Hosts table appears.
3. Click New; the following dialog box appears:
4. Configure an Upstream Host according to the parameters described in the table below.
