When configuring your adapter on a Load Balancer machine, you must ensure
that the following two settings are correct for the advisor to work:
- Disable Task Offloading.
- To disable Task offloading: Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Network and Dial-up Connections, then select the adapter.
- In the pop-up window, click Properties.
- Click Configure, then select the Advanced tab.
- In the property pane, select the Task Offload property, then select disable
in the value field.
- Enable Protocol 1 (ICMP) for IP protocols if you are enabling TCP/IP filtering.
If ICMP is not enabled, the ping test to the back-end server will not succeed.
To check whether ICMP is enabled:
- Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial-up
Connections, then select the adapter.
- In the pop-up window, click Properties.
- From the components pane, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click
Properties.
- Click Advanced, then select the Options tab.
- Select TCP/IP filtering in the options pane, then click Properties.
- If you have selected Enable TCP/IP Filtering and permit only for
IP protocols, you must add IP Protocol 1. This must be added in addition
to the existing TCP and UDP ports that you enabled.
