Volume 9: Managing the Blue Coat SG Appliance
98
Management Console A graphical Web interface that lets you to manage, configure, monitor, and upgrade
the SG appliance from any location. The Management Console consists of a set of
Web pages and Java applets stored on the SG appliance. The appliance acts as a Web
server on the management port to serve these pages and applets.
management information
base (MIB)
Defines the statistics that management systems can collect. A managed device
(gateway) has one or more MIBs as well as one or more SNMP agents, which
implements the information and management functionality defined by a specific
MIB.
maximum object size The maximum object size stored in the SG appliance. All objects retrieved that are
greater than the maximum size are delivered to the client but are not stored in the SG
appliance.
MIME/FILE type filtering Allows organizations to implement Internet policies for both uploaded and
downloaded content by MIME or FILE type.
multi-bit rate The capability of a single stream to deliver multiple bit rates to clients requesting
content from appliances from within varying levels of network conditions (such as
different connecting bandwidths and traffic).
multicast Used in streaming; the ability for hundreds or thousands of users to play a single
stream.
multicast aliases Used in streaming; a streaming command that specifies an alias for a multicast URL
to receive an .nsc file. The .nsc files allows the multicast session to obtain the
information in the control channel
multicast station Used in streaming; a defined location on the proxy where the Windows Media player
can retrieve streams. A multicast station enables multicast transmission of Windows
Media content from the cache. The source of the multicast-delivered content can be a
unicast-live source, a multicast (live) source, and simulated live (video-on-demand
content converted to scheduled live content).
multimedia content services Used in streaming; multimedia support includes Real Networks, Microsoft Windows
Media, Apple QuickTime, MP3, and Flash.
N
name inputing Allows an SG appliance to resolve host names based on a partial name specification.
When a host name is submitted to the DNS server, the DNS server resolves the name
to an IP address. If the host name cannot be resolved, Blue Coat adds the first entry in
the name-inputing list to the end of the host name and resubmits it to the DNS server
native FTP Native FTP involves the client connecting (either explicitly or transparently) using
the FTP protocol; the SG
appliance then connects upstream through FTP (if
necessary).
NCSA common log format Blue Coat products are compatible with this log type, which contains only basic
HTTP access information.
network address translation
(NAT)
The process of translating private network (such as intranet) IP addresses to Internet
IP addresses and vice versa. This methodology makes it possible to match private IP
addresses to Internet IP addresses even when the number of private addresses
outnumbers the pool of available Internet addresses.
