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.
