Reminder: temporary change to enable a proxy for system updates

For systems not internet accessible such as SAN's on isolated switches, enable a proxy to do system updates whilst temporarily connecting switch to standard network.

Rpath example:
export http_proxy="http://10.141.12.254:80"

To remove the proxy for when system is going into production:
unset http_proxy
