This is the optional VLAN ID tag that will be used for the Router LAN (Internet) interface.
You may enter values from 1
– 4067. The cursor position will only go from 0 to 9. To enter a
value greater than a single digit, press the left arrow button to move the cursor to the next
digit. Enter zero (0) to disable the VLAN ID for the Router LAN (Internet) interface.
The VLAN ID is used for full 802.1q VLAN support. This means that your switch
must
be configured to be using “tagged” VLAN. For additional details reference the
section Using VLAN with WebMux in this User Manual.
The IP address you put here will be assigned to the Server LAN interface. Make sure it is a
unique, unused IP address.
In the single WebMux setup, this address CANNOT be the same as the WebMux IP
interface address on the Server LAN. When configuring a backup unit, this screen will not be
displayed.
Enter Server LAN Gateway IP Address (Required):
The Server LAN Gateway IP address is required to be set for NAT mode. The IP address
you put for this setting is an IP alias (an additional IP address) on the server LAN interface
of the WebMux. THIS IS NOT YOUR INTERNET GATEWAY/ROUTER/FIREWALL IP. This
is the IP address that the servers behind the WebMux will be using as their default gateway.
It must be a unique IP address, otherwise you will create a duplicate IP problem on your
network, and it cannot be the same IP you used in for the Server LAN IP. In a single
WebMux deployment, it does not make a lot of sense to have two IP addresses on the
server LAN interface. It is certainly logical to use the WebMux server LAN IP that has
already been assigned earlier as the default gateway for the servers. However, for best
practice, we recommend that you use this server LAN gateway IP address in the case that
you may want to deploy a secondary backup unit.
In the primary/secondary HA configuration, each WebMux will have its own server LAN IP
address. If you were to use the server LAN
IP as the server’s default gateway and WebMux
went out of service, that IP address would no longer be valid because the other WebMux
would have a different IP address. Therefore, the server LAN gateway IP is used instead.
The server LAN gateway IP is only up on the active WebMux. The the primary WebMux
automatically propagates this information to the secondary WebMux, but it will not be active
on the interface when the unit is in standby. When the active WebMux goes down, the
secondary unit will become active and bring up the server LAN gateway IP address on its
server LAN interface. That way the servers behind the WebMux will always have a valid
default gateway no matter which WebMux is active.
