Cisco Cisco Web Security Appliance S170 사용자 가이드

Explicit Forward Proxy. In an explicit forward proxy configuration, the appliance acts on behalf 
of client web browsers to handle requests for servers on the web. Users must configure their web 
browsers to point to a single Web Security appliance. You might want to configure the appliance as 
an explicit forward proxy if you do not have an Layer 4 switch or a WCCP router.

You can use the Web Security appliance in a network that includes another proxy server. For more 
information about how to deploy and configure the appliance when the network contains another proxy, 
see 

The Web Proxy handles both HTTP and native FTP transactions. For more information about working 
with FTP, see 

.

By default, AsyncOS uses a web proxy cache to increase performance for users accessing the web in 
some cases.

You can edit the web proxy and proxy cache in the following ways:

Remove a URL from the cache. Use the 

evict

 subcommand of the 

webcache

 CLI command to 

remove one or more URLs from the cache.

Specify a domain or URL to never cache. Use the 

ignore

 subcommand of the 

webcache

 CLI 

command to specify one or more domains or URLs that the web proxy should never store in the 
proxy cache. You can include embedded regular expression (regex) characters in the URL you 
specify to never cache.

Each access log file entry includes transaction result codes that describe how the appliance resolved 
client requests. Transaction result codes indicate whether the transaction was served from the proxy 
cache or from the destination server. For more information about transaction result codes, see 

Web Proxy settings are configured as part of an initial setup using the System Setup Wizard. To enable 
Web Proxy services or modify proxy settings after an initial configuration, use the Security Services > 
Web Proxy page. This page allows you to configure basic and advanced settings to customize proxy 
services.

The Web Proxy settings apply to all connections that go over HTTP or HTTPS. To configure proxy 
settings for native FTP connections, see 

.

To edit the Web Proxy settings:

Navigate to the Security Services > Web Proxy page.

Click Edit Settings.
