AudioCodes Mediant 500L - Configuring HTTP Proxy Hosts

User's Manual 298 Document #: LTRT-10532
Mediant 500L Gateway & E-SBC
Parameter Description

Each row must be configured with a unique name.
 The parameter is mandatory.
Listening Interface
listening-int
[HTTPProxyService_ListeningInterface]
Assigns an HTTP Interface to the HTTP Proxy service. To
configure HTTP Interfaces, see ''Configuring HTTP
Interfaces'' on page 295.
Note: The parameter is mandatory.
URL Prefix
url-prefix
[HTTPProxyService_URLPrefix]
Defines the URL prefix that is used to access the managed
equipment's embedded Web server. The URL prefix is
matched against the target of the HTTP requests sent by
the client (such as GET and POST). If a match is located in
the table, the device removes the prefix from the request
and then forwards the HTTP request to the managed
equipment without the prefix. For example, for the URL of
GET /home/index.html HTTP/1.1 (which is part of the URL
http://10.20.30.40/home/index.html), a URL prefix of
“/home” can be configured. To match all URLs, configure
the parameter to "/" (default).
Keep-Alive Mode
keep-alive-mode
[HTTPProxyService_KeepAliveMode]
Enables a keep-alive mechanism with the managed
equipment:
 [0] Disable
 [1] Options = (Default) Enables keep-alive by sending
HTTP OPTIONS messages. If no response is received
from the HTTP host, the device stops forwarding HTTP
requests to the host and raises an SNMP alarm
(acHTTPProxyServiceAlarm). If you configured the
address of the host as an FQDN (see ''
Configuring HTTP
Proxy Hosts'' on page 298) and the DNS resolution
results in multiple IP addresses, when no response is
received from the keep-alive, the device checks
connectivity with the next resolved IP address and so on,
until a response is received.
15.7.4.1 Configuring HTTP Proxy Hosts
The HTTP Proxy Hosts table lets you configure HTTP Proxy hosts for HTTP Proxy
services. An HTTP Proxy Host represents the HTTP-based managed equipment (e.g., IP
Phone). The table is a "child" of the HTTP Proxy Services table (see ''Configuring HTTP
Proxy Services'' on page 297). You can configure up to 50 HTTP Proxy hosts; up to 5
HTTP Proxy hosts per HTTP Proxy Service.
The following procedure describes how to configure HTTP Remote hosts through the Web
interface. You can also configure it through ini file (HTTPProxyHost) or CLI (configure
network > http-proxy http-proxy-host).
 To configure an HTTP Proxy Host:
1. Open the HTTP Proxy Services table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > HTTP Proxy
folder > HTTP Proxy Services).
2. In the table, select the required HTTP Proxy Service index row, and then click the
HTTP Proxy Hosts link located below the table; the HTTP Proxy Hosts table appears.
