There are a couple of points to note about the consequences of enabling SSL Acceleration:

1. It sets the port value of this virtual service's real servers to 80.
2. It sets the service check method to HTTP and not HTTPS as would normally be the case with SSL services.

C. Full Menu Tree

This section is Quick Reference that shall help you find your way through the menu structure of the Load

Master WUI.

The Balancer menu consists of navigation tabs on the upper side of the screen:

Two of these tabs each have a submenu.

These two tabs are ‘System Properties’

and ‘Global Settings’:
