Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Multiple port mapping example

In the following figure, four real servers support a single service, HTTP. Clients access HTTP services through a virtual server, with IP address 192.168.2.100, on virtual port 80. Since each real server uses two ports for HTTP services, ports 8001 and 8002, the logical real servers are:

The WSM selects a real server using the configured load balancing metric. For more information, see About load balancing metrics.

The real server TCP or UDP port assigned to a service is the same as the virtual port. If you configure a different virtual port via mapping, the WSM maps the virtual port to the real port.

Note: If you map a single virtual port to multiple real ports, set the virtual server's real server port value to 0. You cannot configure multiple services with multiple real port mapping on this same server.
