Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuration prerequisites for BWM

Bandwidth Management requires a software key. There are two operational keys for BWM--a standard key and a demo key. The demo key automatically expires after a demo time period. These keys may only be enabled if Layer 4 services have been enabled.

Before you begin the configuration tasks for bandwidth management, you must complete the following tasks to configure the WSM for SLB:

• Configuring each real server
• Defining an IP interface on the WSM
• Configuring a real server group
• Configuring a virtual server
• Configuring ports for server load balancing
• Enabling or disabling server load balancing

For more information about server load balancing, see Server load balancing basics.
