Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring DSR health checks

Although virtual server IP address (VIP) health checking is enabled by default, it only works when the real server is configured with DSR.

To configure DSR health checks:

1. From the device view, select the Web Switching Module.

The Web Switching Module is highlighted.

2. From the Edit menu, choose WSM Card > L4 Switching> SLB.

The Server Load Balance dialog box opens to the General tab.

3. Click the Real Groups tab.

The Real Groups tab opens.

4. Double-click the VIP Health Checking field for the real server group and choose Enabled from the selection list.
5. Click Set > Apply.

An Information dialog box opens reminding you to save the configuration.

6. Click OK.

The Information dialog box closes.

7. From the Real Groups tab, click Close.

DSR health checking is enabled for the real server group and the SLB dialog box closes.

8. To save the change, right-click the WSM card and choose one of the following from the shortcut menu:
• Save configuration (backup)--Saves changes to the active and backup WSM configuration blocks.
• Save configuration (no backup)--Saves changes to the active WSM configuration block.
