Identifying ICP Peers
For ICP to work, the Traffic Server must recognize its ICP peers (siblings and parents). You can identify ICP
peers by using Traffic Manager or by editing a configuration file manually.
To identify an ICP peer from Traffic Manager:
1. Access Traffic Manager from your browser (refer to
Accessing Traffic Manager‚ on page 8
).
2. On the Configure tab, click the Routing button.
3. Scroll to the ICP section of the Routing page.
4. Click the ICP Peers link.
The Configure: ICP Peers page opens (shown below).
5. In the Hostname field, enter the host name of the ICP peer. The host name is required only if you do not
specify the IP address in the Host IP field described below.
6. In the Host IP field, enter the IP address of the ICP peer.
proxy.config.icp.multicast_enabled
Set this variable to:
•
0 to disable ICP multicast.
•
1 to enable ICP multicast.
proxy.config.icp.query_timeout
Set this variable to specify the timeout used for ICP queries. The
default is 2 seconds.
NOTE
If you do not know the IP address, you can enter 0.0.0.0. Traffic Server uses the host
name specified in the Hostname field to obtain the IP address via a DNS lookup.
