Webcache — Front View Detail 19 Webcache — Fr ont View Detail Figure 1 W ebcache — Front View The above illustration shows a Webcache 3000. The Webcache 1000 contains a single Cache Stora ge Device and therefore ha s one Cache Storage Status LED on the front panel.
20 C HAPTER 1: I NTRODUCING THE W EBCACHE Webcache — Rea r View Detail Figure 2 W ebcache — Rear View WAR N I NG : WAN and LAN RJ-45 Ports. These are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used as standard tradition al telephone sockets, or to connect the unit to a traditional PBX or public teleph one network.
Webcache — Rear View Detail 21 console port uses a standard null-modem cable and is set to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. WA N P o r t The W AN port is an auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX RJ-45 port. It is used to connect the Webcache to the network in an inline deployment environment.

26 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE Package Contents ■ W ebcache 1000 (3C16115) or Webcache 3000 (3C16116) ■ CD-ROM ■ User Guide (this guide) ■ Release Notes ■ W arranty Card ■ Power .
Rack-Mounti ng the Webcache 27 If the W ebcache is installed in a 19-inch rack or closed assembly its local air temperature may be grea ter than room ambient tempe rature. ■ The air is as free fr om dust as possible. ■ The Webcache is installed in a clean, air condition ed environment.
28 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE 3 Attach a rack-mounting bracket to each side of your Webcache using 4 of the screws pr ovided for each bracket, as shown in Figure 5.
Rack-Mounti ng the Webcache 29 4 Use an adjustable bracket to secure a rack-mounting rail to the r ear of your rack as shown in Figure 6. T o do this: a Slide the adjustable bracket onto the rack-mounting rail and attach it using two of the screws pr ovided at a position suitable for your rack.
30 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE 5 Attach the rack-mounting rail to the front of the rack. T o do this: a Insert two screws thr ough aligned openings in the front plate, rack and rack-mountin g rail as shown in Figure 7. b T ighten the scr ews with a suitable screwdriver .
The Power-up Sequence 31 7 Slide the rack-mounting brackets on the sides of the Webcache into the rack-mounting rails. 8 Secure the fr ont of the Webcache to the rack with the captive thumbscrews, as shown in Figure 8 . Figure 8 Attaching the W ebcache to the Rack 9 Ensure that the ventilation ho les in the Webcache are not obstructed.
32 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE CAUTION: The Webcache has no ON/OFF switch; the only method of connecting or disconnecting mains power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord.
Deploying the Webcache in Your Network 33 Deploying the Webcache in Y our Network Y ou must determine how you are going to deploy the Webcache in your network. The Webcache can be deployed in two ways: ■ Proxy Cache mode — The Webcac he is connected to a Layer 2 switch in your LAN.
34 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE In the Pr oxy Cache deployment the Webcache is connected to an Ether net switch in your LAN. Y ou must configure the Web br owser on each client machine in your network to explicitly dir ect its Web r equests to the Webcache.
Deploying the Webcache in Your Network 35 If the W ebcache fails, the Layer 4 device will detect the failur e and redir ect Web r equests to the W AN, if the device supports Webcache health-checks, en suring that access to the Web is maintained. Deploying the Webcache in T ransp arent mode has benefits for the security of your network.
36 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE Network Address T ranslation (NA T) does not apply to the DMZ port of th e Firewall so you will need to configure the W ebcache with a registered IP address.
Setting Up the Webcache for Management 37 Webcache to your live network. In particular , ensure that the IP settings of the Webcache fit into those of your network.
38 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE Setting Up Using the Web In t er f a ce Y ou can setu p the W ebcache for management via the We b interface by using a W eb browse r on a management workstation that is c onnected to the Webcache over your test network, or dir ectly using a cross-over cable.
Setting Up the Webcache for Management 39 Accessing the We b Interface T o access th e Web interface: 1 Open the W eb browser on the management wor kstation. T o display the Web interface corr ectly , use one of the following Web browsers: ■ Microsoft Internet Explorer v4.

Network Configuration Co ncepts 45 Network Configuration Concepts The following sections explain certain key concepts of configuring your network, which you must un derstand in order to set up the Webcache successfully . IP Addresses If you are uncertain about what IP addresses to assign your equipment, contact your network administrator .
46 C HAPTER 2: I NSTALLING THE W EBCACHE Subnets and Using a Subnet Mask Y ou can divide your IP net work into sub-networks also kno wn as subnets. Support for subnets is important becau se the number of bits assigned to the device part of an IP address limits the number of devices that may be addressed on any given network.
Network Configuration Co ncepts 47 exists on your network, enter the IP address 0.0.0.0 or leave the field blank. If you set the default router to 0.0.0.0 or leave it blank, the Webcache will only be able to access devices that are in the same subnet as the Web c ac h e .
