Configure Proxy Server

Sometimes, the VPC in which the GigaVUE-FM is launched may not have access to the Internet. Without Internet access, GigaVUE-FM cannot connect to the AWS API endpoints. For GigaVUE-FM to connect to AWS, a proxy server must be configured to communicate with the public AWS API endpoints.

Note:  To configure the proxy server, you must be a user with fm_super_admin role or a user with write access to the Physical Device Infrastructure Management category.

To create a proxy server:

  1. Go to Inventory > VIRTUAL > AWS and then click Settings. In the Settings page, select Proxy Server Configuration tab to edit these AWS settings.
  2. Click Add. The Add Proxy Server page is displayed.
  3. Select or enter the appropriate information as shown in the following table.
