B Traffic Manager Configuration Options
Option
Description
Traffic Server
Traffic Server on/off
Turns the
traffic_server
process on or off, which shuts down
all caching and proxying services on a node-by-node basis. You can
turn the
traffic_server
process on or off only one node at a
time.
Normally, the
traffic_server
process should remain on.
However, you must turn the Traffic Server off before performing
certain maintenance tasks.
Traffic Server Name
Displays the hostname of your Traffic Server or the hostnames of all
the nodes in a cluster.
Traffic Server Port
Specifies the port number by which all browsers can connect to the
proxy process that runs on the Traffic Server system. The port must
be dedicated.
NOTE:
The default proxy port number is 8080.
The Traffic Server’s manager process must run as root to bind to port
numbers less than 1024.
Traffic Server User ID
Specifies the user ID for the Traffic Server’s proxy process. You
cannot edit your user ID on this page.
Local Domain Expansion
Turns local domain expansion on so that Traffic Server can attempt
to resolve unqualified hostnames by expanding to the local domain.
For example, if a client makes a request to an unqualified host
named
host_x
, and if the Traffic Server’s local domain is
y.com,
the Traffic Server will expand the hostname to
host_x.y.com.
