Chapter 3 Using IPM to Measure Network Performance
Measuring Network Performance for HTTP
Step 7 To configure IPM so that it can use a proxy server, select Use HTTP Proxy Server, and enter the name
or address of the proxy server.
IPM will use the proxy server you specify for collectors you have configured for the HTTP operation.
The default port for the HTTP proxy server would be 80, and the type of proxy server would be HTTP.
You can set proxy server settings for IOS versions 12.1(9a) and above. To specify a different proxy port,
enter the server name as:
http proxy server: port number
Step 8 Click Add.
IPM adds the newly defined operation to the IPM database.
Step 9 Click Close to close the Configuration window.
For more detailed information about the options available from the HTTP Operation Configuration
window, see the “HTTP Operation Configuration Window” topic in the online help.
Viewing Statistics for HTTP
The HTTP Historical Statistics window displays statistical and graphical information gathered over the
monitoring period for the selected HTTP collector.
To view end-to-end statistics for HTTP:
Step 1 From the IPM Main Window, select an HTTP collector. (Do not select more than one HTTP collector.
You cannot include HTTP collectors in multi-collector graphs.)
Step 2 Select View > Statistics.
The HTTP Historical Statistics window (Figure 3-8) appears.
