Configuring Transparent Cache
A transparent cache configuration enables the CSS to redirect cacheable HTTP
traffic to transparent cache servers based on IP address and port (80). The CSS
directs non-cacheable HTTP traffic to the origin servers.
When you select Transparent Cache, the script automatically:
• Creates an owner (Transparent_Owner)
• Creates a content rule (Transparent_Rule) and defines:
– Service type as transparent-cache
– Protocol tcp
– Port 80
– Extension Qualifier List (EQL) named Cacheable that contains the file
types displayed in the sample running-config file
– URL "/*" eql Cacheable
– Load balance method as domain
– Failover type as bypass
– Application type HTTP
• Activates the services
• Activates the content rule
The script enables you to:
• Configure a service name (Transparent_Cache1)
• Define whether to direct only cacheable content or all content to the cache
servers
To configure a transparent cache configuration, enter
