VLAN disabled list applies to default wildcard virtual servers only. You
cannot create a VLAN disabled list for a wildcard virtual server that is
associated with one VLAN only.
You can use port-specific wildcard virtual servers for tracking statistics for a
particular type of network traffic, or for routing outgoing traffic, such as
HTTP traffic, directly to a cache server rather than a firewall or router.
We recommend that when you define transparent nodes that need to handle
more than one type of service, such as a firewall or a router, you specify an
actual port for the node and turn off port translation for the virtual server.
For the procedure to create a default wildcard server, see To create a default
wildcard virtual server using the Configuration utility, on page 4-73.
Creating wildcard virtual servers
Creating a wildcard virtual server requires three steps. First, you must create
a pool that contains the addresses of the transparent devices. Next, you must
create the wildcard virtual server. Then you must turn port translation off for
the virtual server. The following sections describe these steps, followed by
the procedure for creating a default wildcard server.
To create a pool of transparent devices using the
Configuration utility
To create a pool of transparent devices, use the Add Pool wizard, available
from the Pools screen. For more information, see To create a pool using the
Configuration utility, on page 4-3.
To create a wildcard virtual server using the Configuration
utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Virtual Servers.
2. Click the Add button.
The Add Virtual Server screen opens.
3. In the Address box, type the wildcard IP address 0.0.0.0.
4. In the Port box, type a port number, or select a service name from
the list. Note that port 0 defines a wildcard virtual server that
handles all types of services. If you specify a port number, you
create a port-specific wildcard virtual server. The wildcard virtual
server handles traffic only for the port specified. For more
information, see Default vs. port-specific wildcard servers, on page
4-71.
5. In Resources, click the Pool button.
6. In the Pool list, select the pool you want to apply to the virtual
server.
7. Click the Apply button.
