Hi,
i ran into a deadend, where i need your help =)
We are currently trying to setup the content cache with parent-child config.
A simple ping and netcat are succeeding.
I have declared the settings as followed for example:
parent: 172.10.10.1
child: 20.20.20.1
While reloadSettings it is showing my parent as reloaded. But with “AssetCacheManagerUtil status”
i get the output:
Parent: (none)
i actually cannot get it running.

There is a document from apple that states that the devices have to be within the same subnet. So flat networks are your best bet. There IS some DNS trickery you can do, but I’m not sure if Apple has patched that since I did this last.
EDIT: so apparently if your L3 network can pass specified TCP packets and you have defined the CIDR addresses on the caching host, it should work.

I’d guess that you’re running into an issue with communication across different network segments. The session covered limitations with regard to network architecture.
