Configure a URL List PolicyNEW!

A URL List policy is used in conjunction with a URL Filtering policy. After a URL List policy is configured, it becomes selectable when configuring a URL Filtering policy if you choose the Filter Method option url_list.

URL lists are used to select highly utilized URLs for smart caching. The selected URLs are monitored and routed according to existing cache content policies.

Use this procedure to configure, modify, or delete a URL List policy:

Go to Policies > URL List.

If any policies are configured, they appear in the URL List window in tabular form. The total number of configured URL List policies is shown in parentheses.
Choose from the following actions:
- Select to create a new URL List policy.
  1. Enter a Name for the policy. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.
  2. Select Add to create the policy.
  3. Proceed to configuring URL Entries in the next step.
  Note
  If you exit the URL List policy configuration without first adding and saving any URL Entries, the configured URL List policy persists, but only until you log out.
- Under the Actions column, choose from the following:
  - Select associated with a policy to modify it. Edit the URL entries in accordance with the steps in this procedure. The URL List policy Name cannot be edited.
  - Select associated with a policy to delete it.
In the URL Entries window, choose from the following actions:
- Select Add to add a new URL. Proceed to the next step.
- Select associated with a URL entry to delete it.

Configure the URL Entries parameters as described in URL Entries Parameters.

Table 1. URL Entries Parameters
Parameter	Description
URL	Enter the requested URL that is to be monitored and routed according to existing cache content policies. This value is mandatory.
Depth	Select the number of levels to be cached. Because Web sites have different parameters to uniquely identify specific content, the same content may be stored on multiple origin servers. Smart caching uses subsets of these parameters to recognize that the content is the same and serves it from cache. Enter a value in the range 1 – 10. This value is mandatory.

After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
1. Select Revert to restore default settings.
  
  Note
  You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.
2. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
  
  Note
  This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
3. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
  
  Note
  
  If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
