No configuration at all needed on the client: apple sends the clients to you. Swa To install it: use any mac, add the OS X Server app from the app store (costs a few dollars, guess around 20$ or so (I only see prices in EURO) Once you have that, you can enable the "cache service" It'll register with apple and apple will redirect clients on your network to the cache instead of their servers when it recognizes the source IP as the same as the registered cache. There's no need to configure anything on the devices themselves. Advanced configurations might be needed on more complex networks. See here for command line options: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5590 Esp. if you have multiple outside IP addresses, or internal firewalls between the clients and the server, ... you need to do more than just turn on the service. Worst case (in a .edu setting I guess it might be common, you'll need to NAT the clients if they connect to apple to the same outside IP as the server) You can have multiple caching servers - but even a single mac mini can offload quite a bit of you outside networks. How it works is explained rather well here: http://nbalonso.com/os-x-server-caching/#comments Swa On 18 Sep 2013, at 21:27, John York <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh well... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2013 3:25 PM > To: John York > Subject: RE: iOS 7 update available at 1PM > > That wouldn't work none of these devices are managed by us they are mostly > student owned.
