Overview of virtual sites

The RaQ 3 supports both name-based and IP-based virtual hosting.

The RaQ 3 Administrator sets up the virtual sites, as described in

“Adding a virtual site” on page 43. The following list of information is

helpful when creating a site.

• IP Address To use the RaQ 3, the RaQ 3 Administrator requires an

IP address or range of IP addresses.

Note: The RaQ 3 supports name-based virtual sites allowing

many sites to share a single IP address. For example, the

RaQ 3 Administrator can create many virtual sites using the

same IP address (192.168.25.77) with a different host name for

each site (for example, both www.abc.com and www.xyz.com

can use 192.168.25.77 as their IP address).

• Host name Each virtual site requires a host name (for example,

www or ftp). If the site is connected to the Internet, the RaQ 3

Administrator must know which IP address the host name uses.

• Domain name Each virtual site also requires a domain name (for

example, abc.com or xyz.com). The RaQ 3 Administrator must also

Note: The RaQ 3 can serve as the DNS server and provide the

host name.

• Bandwidth Limit The RaQ 3 allows you to set an output

bandwidth limit for each IP address assigned to a RaQ 3. The

virtual site must have an IP address associated in order to specify a

bandwidth limit. This feature does not regulate input trafﬁc. See

“Output bandwidth management” on page 40.
