Working with Internet Traffic Management (ITM) Devices

The 7110/7115 is compatible with Internet Traffic Management (ITM) devices. In such environments, the 7110/7115 lies between the router and the ITM device, or between the ITM device and the server. ITM devices distribute workload across multiple servers and redirect traffic based on content.

Positioning 7110/7115 between ITM Device and Client Network

If the ITM device supports layer 7 traffic management, URLs must be readable (that is, unencrypted), thus in environments performing layer 7 load balancing, it is recommended that the 7110/7115 be placed between the ITM device and the client network.
