Traffic Manager Configuration Options
Throttling of Network Connections
Maximum Number of Connections
Specifies the maximum number of network connections accepted by
the Traffic Server.
Setting a throttling limit on the Traffic Server helps to prevent
system overload when traffic bottlenecks develop. When network
connections reach this maximum, new connections are queued until
existing connections close.
Configure Load Shedding
Maximum Concurrent Client
Connections
Specifies the maximum number of client connections accepted by a
Traffic Server running in transparent proxy caching mode.
NOTE:
This option displays only when transparent proxy caching is
enabled.
SNMP
SNMP Agent On/Off
Select On to enable MIB access on your Traffic Server or Traffic
Server cluster.
Traffic Server’s SNMP agent supports access to two management
information bases (MIBs): MIB-2 (a standard MIB) and the HP
Traffic Server MIB. Descriptions of the Traffic Server MIB
variables are provided in the
hp-ts-mib.my
file in Traffic Server’s
config/mibs
directory. The Traffic Server MIB contains both
node-specific and cluster-wide information.
You should configure your system so that only certain hosts can
access these MIBs. Configure access control and SNMP trap
destinations in the
snmpd.cnf
file in Traffic Server’s
config
directory. See
snmpd.cnf‚ on page 214
.
Customizable Response Pages
Traffic Server should suppress
generated response pages:
If Traffic Server detects an HTTP problem with a particular client
transaction (such as, unavailable origin servers, authentication
requirements, and protocol errors), it sends an HTML response page
to the client browser. Traffic Server has a set of hard-coded default
response pages that explain each HTTP error in detail to the client.
You can suppress Traffic Server’s response pages (this might be
particularly useful when Traffic Server is running transparently and
you do not want to indicate the presence of a cache).
Select Never to always send response pages.
Select Always to always suppress response pages. When response
pages are suppressed, clients see
Document contains no data
dialog boxes on their screens, instead of Traffic Server response
pages.
Select When Transparent to suppress response pages only if
transparency is enabled.
