Configuring Groups and VLANs for a Server NIC 63

CAUTION: Before creating or removing a load balancing group or VLAN, take note of configuration information such as IP addresses and IPX network numbers. DynamicAccess server software does not restore a network configuration to its pre-DynamicAccess state. Always verify that the network configuration conforms to your expectations after creating or removing a load balancing group or VLAN.

Working With Server Features

The DynamicAccess server features window contains tabs for these windows:

■In the Load Balance/RSL window, you can create and change Load Balancing/RSL groups. The NICs in a group work together to route traffic efficiently and to recover from failures.

■In the VLANs window, you can set up virtual LANs. All groups listed on the Load Balance/RSL window also appear as groups in the VLAN window. Any ungrouped NICs in the Load Balance/RSL window are also listed in the VLAN window.
