# 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.
