Chapter 6. Configure Basic Proxy Server

6.1. Basic Proxy Configuration Overview
Copy link

Proxy server configuration consists of one mandatory and one optional portion:
  1. Configure a Proxy Server listener to receive worker node connection requests and worker node feedback.
  2. Optional: Disable server advertisement.
Server Advertisement

The proxy server advertises itself using UDP multicast. When UDP multicast is available on the network between the proxy server and the worker nodes, Server Advertisement adds worker nodes without further configuration required on the proxy server, and minimal configuration on the worker nodes.

If UDP multicast is not available or undesirable, configure the worker nodes with a static list of proxy servers, as detailed in Section 8.1, “Static Proxy Configuration”. In either case, the proxy server does not need to be configured with a list of worker nodes.
