This is the common setup for both NAT and Out-of-Path modes. This is an
address on the firewall or router local interface. In NAT mode, the WebMux™
needs to know this to route the server replies back to the clients. Although in Out-
of-Path mode this is not being used to route return traffic back to the Internet
clients, the WebMux™ does check the connectivity to the incoming side on this

Layer 7 load balancing, servers need to route traffic back to the WebMux™ via
the server LAN gateway (previously mentioned). The WebMux™ then forwards it
to the client.
Is this a Primary WebMux™?

This question is not asked for the Secondary WebMux™.
Is this WebMux™ running solo without a backup WebMux™?
If the Primary WebMux™ is running in a standalone configuration (see sample
configuration – Standalone WebMux™.), answer Yes. If you plan to add 2nd
WebMux™ later, you may answer no.

through the network. However, sometimes a wrong IP address is entered so that
no computer can access the browser management console. At that point,
clearing the allowed host file will allow any browser to access it. By default, the
