Enabling HTTP proxy settings on a dual-port managed appliance using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the commands in this topic to enable a managed appliance that uses dual-port communication to send DTI service requests through an HTTP proxy server.

Note

When the appliance uses dual-port communication, requests can either be sent directly to the HTTP proxy, or through the Central Management System appliance to the HTTP proxy (the default behavior).

To enable HTTP proxy settings for a DTI service:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. View the current DTI service configuration:

    hostname (config) # show fenet dti configuration brief
  3. To send DTI service requests directly to the HTTP proxy (optional): Move control of the DTI service to the managed appliance.

    • For the download service:

      hostname (config) # no fenet dti source override enable
    • For the enrollment, faude, mil, or virtual service:

      hostname (config) # no fenet dti <service> service override enable
    • For the upload destination service:

      hostname (config) # no fenet dti upload destination override enable
  4. View the current DTI service configuration:

    hostname (config) # show fenet dti configuration brief
  5. If the value for the service in the ACTIVE SETTINGS FOR HTTP PROXY section is no, enable proxy settings for the service.

    • For the source service:

      hostname (config) # fenet dti source proxy enable
    • For the enrollment, faude, or virtual service:

      hostname (config) # fenet dti <service> service proxy enable
    • For the upload destination service:

      hostname (config) # fenet dti upload destination proxy enable
  6. Verify your changes:

    hostname (config) # show fenet dti configuration brief
  7. Save your changes:

    hostname (config) # write memory

Examples

The following example moves control of the source service to the managed appliance. This allows the managed appliance to bypass the Central Management System appliance and send requests for software updates directly to the HTTP proxy server.

hostname (config) # show fenet dti configuration brief

The following example re-enables HTTP proxy settings for the faude service. In this example, the Central Management System appliance controls the DTI services, so DTI requests are sent to the HTTP proxy through the Central Management System appliance.

hostname (config) # show fenet dti configuration brief
