5.3.4 IP Virtualization
Introduction: With Shared Computing solution, multiple users have their own desktop
sessions on a single host OS. Because these sessions are on the same OS, they all share
the IP address of the host for network communication. The sharing of an IP address for
multiple sessions sometimes causes problems in an environment. IP virtualization allows
a unique IP address for each user session on the host for its network communication,
fixing compatibility problems for use cases where a unique IP address is required for
each user session.
Enable IP virtualization: check the "Enable IP virtualization" option and choose the
appropriate method(s) to assigned IP addresses. Users who are not assigned a virtual IP
will still use the host's IP address.
Use Cases:
◼
Certain applications, such as CRM and CTI, require a unique IP address that can't be
the same as any other instance of the application.
◼
Tracking of traffic by IP address.
◼
Filtering or charging traffic based on IP address.
Things to know before configuration:
◼ IP Virtualization configurations require certain network knowledge. Incorrect
configurations may cause IP conflict or network failure.
