A
dding a Server to a Cluster
In general, you should configure your network topology so that Equalizer is the
gateway for ALL of the traffic for its virtual clusters. Each server in a cluster uses
Equalizer as the gateway for any response packets to clients that contacted the
server through a virtual cluster address. However, Equalizer does not need to be
configured as the gateway for the servers in an L7 clusters if IP spoofing is disabled
for the cluster.
To add a server to an existing virtual cluster:
1. Log into the Equalizer Administration interface with edit access.
2. In the left frame, click the name of the cluster to which you want to add the server. The
Cluster Parameters are displayed in the right frame.
3. Select Add Server from the local menu in the Cluster Parameters frame. The Add
Server dialog is displayed in the right frame.

cluster before attempting to delete the cluster. See “Deleting a Server” on page 79 for information
