Using a proxy server with the Velocity physical appliance
Velocity Help
The following are some of the appliance features that require access to the internet:
Velocity Console administration
Automatic updates
AutoSupport (Call Home service)
Once you configure the appliance proxy settings, various services will travel through the proxy server.
To configure the appliance to use a proxy server
Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
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 username 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
The proxy is automatically enabled after you finish configuring the proxy settings. You have the option to disable and re-enable the proxy configuration as necessary using the Enable and Disable commands. However, the Enable and Disable commands do not take effect for Velocity Console administration.
