Note

disabled on the CCR receiver, even if the CCR receiver obtains the content catch configuration
from the CCR source.

Web content caching is the caching of Web objects (e.g., HTML pages, images) to reduce
bandwidth usage, server load, and perceived lag. A Web cache stores copies of objects
passing through it. Subsequent duplicate requests may be satisfied from the cache
if certain conditions are met. Cached objects will be re-scanned by IWSVA
The Content Cache capability provides users who access the Web through IWSVA with
a quicker experience while saving bandwidth.
|
Note
This feature is available in Forward Proxy and WCCP modes. If the deployment mode
changes from Forward Proxy mode to another mode, the Content Cache features is greyed
out and will not function.
|
With the Content Cache feature, administrators enable or disable the IWSVA in-box
cache and manage caching through Web console.
|
Note
The Content Cache feature cannot be disabled from the CLI.
