Figure 7 Two-network configuration
Using Equalizer in a Single Network Environment
If you do not want to split your network into internal and external networks, Equalizer can
be configured to use a single network interface, effectively placing both the clients and
servers on the same network. Figure 8 on page 13 shows this configuration in detail.
In a single network configuration, Equalizer’s external interface port is connected to the
network and the internal interface port is not used. Servers should have valid network
addresses on the external network and must be configured to use Equalizer's external
address as the gateway for outbound packets. It is not necessary to configure an IP address
on the internal interface when using a single network configuration.
