Configuration Worksheet for Using Reserved IP Addresses
1. What is the “reserved” network to be used for the internal network?
Equalizer uses this set of address to balance the load across the servers. (Equalizer uses
the internal network to forward connections to the HTTP daemons running on the
servers.)
Example:
10.0.0.0 (netmask 255.0.0.0) or 192.168.2.0 (netmask 255.255.255.0)
2. What is the Equalizer's address on the internal network? This is the address that the
servers will use as their default gateway. This address must be on the reserved
network, as chosen in step one.
Example:
10.0.0.1 or 192.168.2.1
Note – If you’re using a Failover configuration, outbound NAT must be enabled on both
Equalizers.
