Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring the host header for virtual hosting

Before configuring virtual hosting, configure the WSM for server load balancing. See Configuring virtual server load balancing.

1. Enable virtual hosting on virtual service 80. See Configuring services for a virtual server. Set the following parameter.

­	HTTP SLB 1st = Host

2. Define the host names. See Defining a string for URL load balancing.
3. Configure the real server(s) to handle the host string(s). See Configuring a real server for URL-based load balancing.
   
   

   Note: If you do not add a defined string (or add the defined string any), the server will handle any request.
