Configuring ports for IDS SLB

Before configuring ports for IDS SLB, complete the procedures in the following sections:

To configure the backplane fabric module ports (1-4) for IDS SLB:

  1. From the Server Load Balance dialog box, click the Ports tab.
    2. The Ports tab opens.
  2. Click Insert.
    3. The Insert Ports dialog box opens
  3. In the Port field, type the port number (1-4).

    Note Note: Each IDS server must be connected directly to a different WSM port or VLAN. If the IDS group will be configured for link health check, match the IDS server number to the physical port number (1 - 4) to which it is connected. For ICMP health check, the IDS server number can be between 1 and 31.
    Note Note: An IDS server must be connected to one of the WSM front-facing ports (1-4) to enable link health check in stealth mode (mode in which no IP address is used and the IDS just monitors packets).

  4. In the Load Balance State field, click the down arrow and choose Server.
  5. In the Intrusion Detection State field, click Enabled.
  6. Click Insert.
    7. The port is inserted into the Ports tab and the Insert Ports dialog box closes.
  7. Repeat steps 2 - 5 for each port.
  8. Click Apply.
    9. The port is configured for IDS SLB and the Server Load Balance dialog box closes.
  9. Continue the IDS configuration by Enabling IDS SLB.
