The following table lists the smart cache policy configuration commands.
smart-cache-policy
Creates a new smart cache policy and enters its configuration mode
Content caching is a mechanism that allows temporary caching of frequently accessed content on
intermediate network devices. When enabled, subsequent requests for the same content are
serviced from the cache locally and not fetched from originating servers, resulting in reduced
bandwidth usage, lower latency, and reduced data transfers from originating servers. The Mobility
smart cache policy supports both forward caching and transparent caching.
Forward content caching stores content temporarily on the local network. This locally stored
content can be retrieved, when required, without routing a request to an external server on the
Internet.
Transparent content caching, on the other hand, acts as an intermediary for the originating servers
and returns cached content to clients as if the data originated from the associated servers.
Transparent caching proxies perform server load-balancing and compression to regulate load on
the originating servers and reduce bandwidth usage.
The smart cache policy also supports dynamic content caching, allowing caching of content form
popular video content sharing sites, such as youtube.com, cnn.com, msn.com etc.
Enabling content caching improves Web browsing (for data and video content) for consumers using
Kiosks, tablets, and smart phones. A smart cache policy is enabled by associating it with a device
or a profile.
Configure the policy’s forward proxy, transparent proxy and several additional settings before actual
HTML pages can be defined for the smart caching configuration.
