Configuring the Web Cache
WAN Acceleration > Web Cache
The Web Cache page provides options to enable, configure, view results, diagnose, and test
performance of the Web Cache feature. By enabling the Web Cache service, the NSA/TZ series
appliance immediately begins transparently forwarding HTTP connections to the WXA series
appliance and saving bandwidth.
Consider the following when configuring the Web Cache service:
• When the Web Cache checkbox is enabled, the Web Proxy fields are automatically
populated in the Network > Web Proxy page in the SonicOS management interface.
• There is no need to configure the HTTP clients with proxy settings since the NSA/TZ series
appliance transparently redirects standard HTTP connections onto the proxy.
• When the Web Cache is enabled, the NSA/TZ series appliance disables redirection of
HTTP connections to the WXA series appliance if it becomes unavailable.
• The Web Cache service is not available in WXA 500 Live CD Memory Mode.
To configure the Web Cache service, refer to the following sections:
• Configuring the Web Cache on page 132
• Verifying Web Cache Operation on page 134
• Diagnosing and Testing Performance of the Web Cache on page 135
