Before You Configure a NIC Proxy
Before you configure a NIC proxy, you should have a good understanding of:
- NIC resolution
- NIC data types
- How NIC proxies work
See Locating Subscriber Management Information, NIC Resolution Process Overview, and NIC Proxy Configuration Overview.
 | Note: You cannot configure a local NIC host when the NIC is running on a C Series Controller. |
The values that you configure for a NIC proxy depend on the particular application; for example, you must specify the type of data used for the key and the type of data used for the value for each application.
Before you configure a NIC proxy for an application, obtain the following information from the system manager who maintains the NIC configuration for NIC hosts:
- The name of the resolver that the application uses.
- The type of key the application will provide to the NIC host.
- The type of value the NIC host is to return.
- Whether or not the application will use a local NIC host.
- If the application does not use a local NIC host:
- The size of the NIC proxy cache.
- The groups to be listed for NIC host selection. These groups provide NIC replication.
