Using a proxy server with the appliance
The following features require access to the Internet:
AutoSupport (Call Home service)
Download software updates from Veritas website.
Once you configure the appliance proxy settings, these services will travel through the proxy server.
To configure the appliance to use a proxy server
- Log on to the Access Appliance shell menu on either node of the appliance.
- From the Main_Menu > Network > Proxy view, type the following command:
Set <Server:Port> [Tunnel] [Username]
<Server> - Type the IP address or host name of the proxy server, followed by a colon (:) and then the port number.
If the proxy server requires https, add https:// to the address. Otherwise the appliance adds http:// to the address by default.
[Tunnel] - Type TunnelOn if your proxy requires tunneling (the default is TunnelOff).
[Username] - Type the appropriate user name if the proxy server requires authentication. You are prompted for a password after you execute the command.
For example:
Set https://proxy.example.company.com:80 TunnelOff ProxyAdmin123 Enter password for user "admin": Successfully set proxy server
