Creating Virtual IP Addresses

You can create virtual IP addresses so that LinkProof can balance loads between NHRs where one or more use NAT addresses. You do so by creating a virtual IP address and mapping the NAT addresses of the NHRs to it. Clients destined to the virtual IP address are redirected to the appropriate NHR according to the configured Dispatch Method.

You can configure up to 400 virtual IP addresses per LinkProof device.

Use the Virtual IP Table pane to configure virtual IP addresses.

To configure a virtual IP address

1.	Select LinkProof > Virtual IP > Virtual IP Table. The Virtual IPs Table pane is displayed.

2.	Select Create. The Virtual IPs Table Create pane is displayed.

3.	Configure the parameters; and then, click Set.
