Add a server to a port
Fill in the fields, then click OK.
- Server
- The server is the unique IP address of the TCP server
machine as either a symbolic name or in dotted-decimal format. If you use a unique name that
does not resolve to an IP address, you must provide the server address.
- Server Address
- The unique IP address of the TCP server machine as either a host name
or in dotted-decimal format. If the server is not resolvable, you must provide
the address of the physical server machine.
- Map port
- Map the port that you want to use for load balancing. This allows a client's request to be
received on one port and to be transmitted on
a different port on the server machine. You can load balance client requests to multiple server
daemons running on the same physical machine. This is applicable only when using the NAT/NAPT or
content-based routing forwarding methods.
- Return Address
- A unique IP address or hostname, used only when the server's forwarding method
is NAT/NAPT or content-based routing. It must be different than the
cluster address, server address and NFA. You must specify the return
address value when the server is added and it cannot be changed after the server exists.
The return address is used by the Load Balancer machine in order to process the content of the request,
instead of sending the packet directly to the client.
Note: Return address applies only to the Dispatcher component with NAT/NAPT or content-based routing
forwarding method protocols.
- Network Router Address (optional)
- If you are setting up a wide area network with the Load Balancer, select the
check box and fill in the router address. Enter the dotted-decimal IP address of the router.
If you are using NAT/NAPT or content-based routing forwarding method protocols, specify the router
address value.
