Server for email notification:
The WebMux can send email notifications. Enter the IP address of the email server that will
forward the notifications.
Note Because the WebMux does not resolve names, this entry must be an IP address.
Also, you must allow relaying from the WebMux IP on your email server in order to
accept emails from the WebMux.
Addresses for email notification:
Enter the email addresses to be notified. Separate multiple addresses with a colon. For
example: [e-mail]:[e-mail]
UDP syslog server IP address notification:
The WebMux can be configured to send syslog messages to a remote syslogd server. Enter
the syslogd server IP address to use this feature. The syslogd server must be configured to
accept remote UDP syslog connections. The facility for WebMux syslog messages is
LOCAL6.
The notification levels of the syslog messages are as follows:
Level Search Key Description
INFO STATS LCD display messages
NOTICE LOGIN Successful browser login/logout (excludes timeout logout)
NOTICE SETUP Significant access and changes to setup and configuration items.
NOTICE EVENT Same as pager/mail messages
WARNING LOGIN Unsuccessful browser login
Server gateway IP address:
The WebMux appears to all the servers in the farms as a gateway or router. This is the IP
address for the WebMux acting as a router for the servers. This is the IP address that should
be used as the default gateway IP address in the web (or other) servers. It is highly
recommend adding it to the /etc/hosts file on your servers. Only apply for the NAT mode (or
for Out-of-Path Mode that requires the WebMux to do the SSL termination or Layer 7 load
balancing. Normally, this is optional for Out-of-Path Mode).
Note For first time setup, it is very important to set up this address and the Server Farm
network mask (below) first. Also when setting up the servers, you may be asked to fill in
the default gateway IP address for the server. Use this IP address to setup all the servers
under it. The WebMux will not function properly if this IP address is not set correctly for
both WebMux and the servers.
WebMux http control port:
Since the WebMux is load balancing incoming HTTP traffic, the HTTP port for the
management console must be set to a different port. By default, the port is 24. You can
change the port to any port that is not being load balanced, if so desired. The font push
buttons can also change this.
