How do I set up a proxy server

To report usage data to vCloud Usage Insight, vCloud Usage Meter requires a connection to the Internet. To establish a connection between vCloud Usage Meter and the Internet, you must configure a proxy server.

The first time you log in to the vCloud Usage Insight Web interface, a pop-up window to configure the proxy server displays. However, you can configure the proxy settings later.

Procedure

1. In the main menu bar of the vCloud Usage Meter Web interface, select Settings > Network Connectivity.
2. On the Network Connectivity page, select the proxy connection type.
3. Enter the IP address or the host name of the network proxy server in Proxy Server text box.
4. Enter the port number in the text box next to the IP address of the network proxy server.
   The port number value must be a number between 0 and 65535.
5. Enter the user name and password.
6. Click Save.
   You receive a Network Connectivity settings saved. message after the settings are correctly populated and saved.
