Configuring direct access mode  

When you enable Direct Access Mode (DAM) for the WSM, any client can communicate with any real server's load-balanced service; and any number of virtual services can be configured to load balance a real service. Traffic sent directly to the real server IP addresses is excluded from load-balancing decisions. The same clients may also communicate to the virtual server IP address for load-balanced requests.


Note Note: When DAM is enabled on the WSM, port mapping and default gateway load balancing are supported only when filtering is enabled, a proxy IP address is configured, or URL parsing is enabled on any switch port

To configure DAM:

  1. From the device view, select the Web Switching Module.
    2. The Web Switching Module is highlighted.
  2. From the Edit menu, choose WSM Card > L4 Switching> SLB.
    3. The Server Load Balance dialog box opens to the General tab. See SLB--General tab fields.
  3. In the Direct Access Mode field, click Enabled.
  4. Click Set > Apply > Close.
    5. DAM is configured for the Web Switching Module, and the Server Load Balance dialog box closes.
