Step 4. Shut Down and Relocate the iPrism Appliance (If it is not already located in a production setting)
Ensure proper shut down and Relocate the iPrism into a network or subnet that will be convenient for testing, typically near your Internet
Gateway. Connect a network cable between your switch and the INTERNAL iPrism interface, and turn on the power.
Step 5. Redirect HTTP Trac to iPrism for Testing
Redirect Web requests to iPrism by configuring one or more clients to proxy to iPrism, using the default port 3128 and the iPrism’s IP
address. All HTTP/HTTPS requests originating from workstations that proxy to the iPrism will be filtered. For more information on setting
up and testing iPrism for evaluation purposes, please see our Evaluation Guide. When finished evaluating in Proxy-Mode, refer to the
iPrism Installation Guide for transitioning to Bridge-Mode. Both guides are available at http://supportdocs.edgewave.com.
