Configuring Load Balancer

This section focuses on configuring production environments and realistic test environments.

Methods of configuration
There are four methods you can use to configure Load Balancer: the command line, scripts, the graphical user interface (GUI), and the configuration wizard. The Information Center assumes use of the command line.
Configuring the Load Balancer machine
Configure Load Balancer for IPv4 and IPv6 on the machine that you will use to load balance server traffic.
Configuring the server machines
You need to configure each of the back-end server machines in your topology before Load Balancer will be able to properly work in your environment.
Quick start configuration
This quick start example shows how to configure three locally attached workstations to load-balance Web traffic between two Web servers.
Logging with Load Balancer
You can set up Dispatcher and the TCP server machines using a private network. This configuration can reduce the contention on the public or external network that can affect performance.
