The WebMux™ Model 480S, 580SG, and 680PG User Guide – Version 7.0.x

Installation without IP Address Change (TM)

Transparent Mode:

Transparent Mode is another WebMux™ configuration that allows you to keep

the existing IP addresses of your servers. Like Out-of-Path mode, the servers

and the WebMux™ will be on the same IP network. However, physically, the

servers will be connected to the WebMux™ in the same way they would be for

NAT mode, on the server LAN port. The “internet” port on the WebMux™ is

connected towards the Firewall/Router. In this mode, the WebMux™ functions

as an Ethernet bridge. Anything connected to its back interface (server LAN) is

on the same network as its front interface (internet/router LAN). If you look at the

diagram above, you will see that the terminals are on the same network as the

servers, even though the servers are “behind” the WebMux™. The terminals can

communicate with the servers IP directly as if the WebMux™ was not there, and

vise versa.
