Based on your NetMRI deployment type, you can define Proxy settings in the following ways:

- Standalone: You can define one proxy server for the standalone appliance.
- Operation Center with Collectors: You can define a separate Proxy server for each collector.

To configure a Proxy server, complete the following:

1. To create a new SDN configuration or edit an existing one, click the **Settings** icon > **Setup** > **Proxy Settings**, and then select **Use Global Proxy Settings**.
2. In the **Setup** panel, select **Proxy Settings**.
3. In the **Proxy For** drop-down list, select a collector.
4. Select **Use Proxy Server**.
5. Do the following:
  - **Name or IP Address**: An FQDN or IP address of the Proxy.
  - **Port**: The port number of the Proxy.
  - **Username**: The username that NetMRI will use to log in to the Proxy.
  - **Password**: The password that NetMRI will use to log in to the Proxy.
6. Click **Save**.
