Defining the ESI Server
The following sections describe how to configure an ESI server using the WebUI and CLI.
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services > External Services page on the WebUI.
2. Click Add in the External Servers section.
3. Provide the following details:
a. Server Name.
b. Server Group. Use the drop-down list to assign this server to a group from the existing configured
groups.
c. Server Mode. Use the drop-down list to choose the mode (bridge, nat, or route) your topology requires.
Refer to the description above to understand the differences between these modes.
For routed mode, enter the Trusted IP Address (the IP address of the trusted interface on the external
server device) and the Untrusted IP Address (the IP address of the untrusted interface on the external
server device). (You can also choose to enable a health check on either or both of these interfaces.)
For bridged mode, enter the Trusted Port number (the port connected to the trusted side of the ESI
server) and the Untrusted Port number (the port connected to the untrusted side of the ESI server).
For NAT mode, enter the Trusted IP Address (the trusted interface on the external server) and the
NAT Destination Port number (the port a packet is redirected to rather than the original destination
port in the packet). You can also choose to enable a health check on the trusted IP address interface.
4. Click Done.
5. Click Apply.
