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.user@host# edit redirect-server
Specify the URL to which to send subscriber traffic.[edit redirect-server] user@host# set destination-url destination-url
(Optional) Specify the TCP port on which the redirect server listens for requests.[edit redirect-server] user@host# set tcp-port tcp-port
(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.[edit redirect-server] user@host# set refresh
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.
