Configuring General Properties for the Redirect Server (SRC CLI)

Use the following configuration statements to configure general properties for the redirect server:



redirect-server { 
destination-url destination-url; 
tcp-port tcp-port; 
refresh;
}

To configure properties for the redirect server:

From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the redirect server.
Specify the URL to which to send subscriber traffic.
(Optional) Specify the TCP port on which the redirect server listens for requests.
(Optional) Specify whether the redirect server sends an HTTP 200 OK response with an HTML document that includes the <HTTP-Equiv="Refresh"> header to a subscriber’s browser in response to a captured request.
If you do not use the refresh option, the redirect server sends an HTTP 302 Found response to a subscriber’s browser in response to a captured request.

By setting the refresh option, the load on the Web server is decreased because non-browser (or non-HTML) client applications that use HTTP do not follow this refresh message; however, most client applications do follow HTTP 302 messages.
