Enter Router LAN Network IP Address Mask:
This is the network mask of the Router LAN network. It is usually 255.255.255.0
for class C networks.
Enter Server LAN WebMux™ IP Address:
This is the IP address of the WebMux™ interface that connects to the Server
LAN. This IP address must also be unique for each WebMux™.
This address
must be different from the server LAN gateway address
. The purpose of this IP
address is to allow WebMux™ to check the network and server health situation.
Even for the backup WebMux™, this address must be unique. It is highly
recommended to add this IP address to your servers /etc/hosts file, along with
the gateway IP address, to allow faster name resolution, especially on
Linux/Unix.
In an installation with a primary and secondary WebMux™, one unique IP
address is required for each WebMux™ interface that connects to the Server
LAN. Those two unique IP addresses are in addition to the gateway IP address
that is floating between the primary and secondary WebMux™.
These IP addresses cannot be your Internet registered addresses. They must be
Internet non-routable. For example, you can assign addresses in a 10.0.0.0
network address range, or a 192.168.199.0, etc.
Enter Server LAN Network IP Address Mask:
This is the network mask of the Server LAN. For a class A network, it may be
255.0.0.0. For a class C network, it may be 255.255.255.0.
Enter Server LAN Gateway IP address:
This IP address will be the Default Gateway entry for all the servers on the
Server LAN. In an installation with two WebMuxes, if a gateway IP address of
10.1.1.1 is used, this address will ‘float’ between the primary and secondary
