> # 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:

> 1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the redirect server.
>    `
>    user@host# edit redirect-server
>    `
> 2. Specify the URL to which to send subscriber traffic.
>    `
>    [edit redirect-server]
>    user@host# set destination-url destination-url
>    `
> 3. (Optional) Specify the TCP port on which the redirect server listens for requests.
>    `
>    [edit redirect-server]
>    user@host# set tcp-port tcp-port
>    `
> 4. (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.
