Quick Installation of iPrism

The proxy-mode configuration outlined in this guide provides an easy temporary setup for evaluating and testing iPrism using proxied
client traffic. Once you are familiar with using iPrism in Proxy-Mode, we recommend reconfiguring iPrism for Bridge-Mode deployment to
fully utilize the transparent-mode traffic management and reporting features offered by iPrism.

For more information on installation and configuration (including transitioning to Bridge-Mode), see the iPrism Installation Guide available
on the iPrism support page at: http://supportdocs.edgewave.com.
