Enter Server LAN VLAN ID (optional):
Note The VLAN ID is used for full 802.1q VLAN support. In Single Network Mode
the Router LAN VLAN ID and Server LAN VLAN ID still pertain to the specific ports
on the WebMux and they cannot be the same value. Even though you only need to use
one of the ports in Single Network Mode, it is important that your switch setting matches
the value of the port you are connecting to.
If you entered a non-zero value for the VLAN IDs, you will see an additional screen:
“Bond rtr/svr NI?” (“Bond router and server Network Interfaces”):
This option will allow you to use the “Internet/rtr” port and “Server/svr” port as a single
“bonded” interface, also known as Port Channel or Link Aggregation Group, allowing
substantially more data throughput than a single physical interface. Please refer to Appendix
N for details.
Please continue to the Common Configuration section.

Enter Server LAN WebMux IP Address:
In Out-of-Path Mode, at minimum, you only need to connect the Server LAN interface. This
is the IP address of the WebMux Server LAN interface. This IP address must also be unique
for each WebMux. The purpose of this IP address is to allow the WebMux to check the
network and server health. Even for the backup WebMux, this address must be unique. It is
highly recommended to add this IP address to your servers /etc/hosts file, along with the
gateway IP address, to allow faster name resolution, especially on Linux/Unix. Please also
refer to Appendix A for adding loopback to servers.
In an installation with a primary and secondary WebMux, one unique IP address is required
for each WebMux interface that connects to the Server LAN. Those two unique IP addresses
are in addition to the farm IP address that is floating between the primary and secondary
WebMux.
