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

Common Configuration

-For NAT, Transparent (Bridge), and Out-of-Path Mode

Enter External Gateway:

This is the common setup for NAT, Transparent, and Out-of-Path modes. This is

an address on the firewall or router local interface. In NAT mode, the WebMux™

needs to know this to route the server replies back to the clients. Although in Out-

of-Path mode this is not being used to route return traffic back to the Internet

clients, the WebMux™ does check the connectivity to the incoming side on this

gateway or through this gateway to the ISP side routers. However, for SSL

termination or Layer 7 load balancing, servers need to route traffic back to the

WebMux™ via the server LAN gateway (previously mentioned). The WebMux™

then forwards it to the client through the external gateway.

Is this a Primary WebMux™?

If this is the Primary, answer Yes. If this is the Secondary WebMux™, answer

No. The secondary WebMux™ automatically gets configuration information from

the Primary once it sets up. If this is the only WebMux™, answer Yes.

Primary WebMux™ Information

This question is not asked for the Secondary WebMux™.

Is this WebMux™ running solo without a backup WebMux™?

If the Primary WebMux™ is running in a standalone configuration (see sample

configuration – Standalone WebMux™.), answer Yes. If you plan to add 2nd

WebMux™ in the future, you may answer NO, even there is only one WebMux at

the time. When you add second WebMux™ later on, WebMux™ will

automatically detect the backup and start functioning.
