How do I setup proxy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux to access internet?

To setup the proxy environment variable as a global variable, open /etc/profile file:

# vi /etc/profile

Add the following information:

export http_proxy=http://proxy-server.name.or.ip:3128/

OR

export http_proxy=http://USERNAME:PASSOWRD@proxy-server.mycorp.com:3128/

Save and close the file.
