ICP.CONFIG(5)

NAME
icp.config - Traffic Server ICP configuration file

The icp.config file defines ICP peers (parent and sibling caches).

IMPORTANT:
        After you modify the icp.config file, navigate to the Traffic Server bin directory and run the traffic_line -x command to apply the changes. When you apply the changes to a node in a cluster, Traffic Server automatically applies the changes to all other nodes in the cluster.

FORMAT

Each line in the icp.config file contains the name and configuration information for a single ICP peer in the following format:

        host : host_IP : peer_type : proxy_port : icp_port : MC_on : MC_IP : MC_TTL :

Each field is described in the following list.

    ``host`` {#host}
        The hostname of the ICP peer.

        This field is optional; if you do not specify the hostname of the ICP peer, you must specify the IP address.

    ``host_IP`` {#host_IP}
        The IP address of the ICP peer.

        This field is optional; if you do not specify the IP address of the ICP peer, you must specify the hostname.

    ``ctype`` {#ctype}
        Use the following options:

        •   1 to indicate an ICP parent cache

        •   2 to indicate an ICP sibling cache

    ``proxy_port`` {#proxy_port}
        The port number of the TCP port used by the ICP peer for proxy communication.

    ``icp_port`` {#icp_port}
        The port number of the UDP port used by the ICP peer for ICP communication.

    ``MC_on`` {#mc_on}
        Enable or disable MultiCast:

        •   0 if multicast is disabled

        •   1 if multicast is enabled

    ``MC_ip`` {#mc_ip}
        The MultiCast IP address.

    ``MC_ttl`` {#mc_ttl}
        The multicast time to live. Use the following options:

        •   1 if IP multicast datagrams will not be forwarded beyond a single subnetwork

        •   2 to allow delivery of IP multicast datagrams to more than one subnet (if there are one or more multicast routers attached to the first hop subnet).

EXAMPLES

The following example configuration is for three nodes: the local host, one parent, and one sibling.

        localhost:0.0.0.0:3:8080:3130:0:0.0.0.0:1
        host1:123.12.1.23:1:8080:3131:0:0.0.0.0:1
        host2:123.12.1.24:2:8080:3131:0:0.0.0.0:1
