Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Extending SLB topologies

In standard server load balancing, all client-to-server requests to a particular virtual server and all related server-to-client responses must pass through the same WSM. To prevent routers from creating alternate paths around the WSM, you can extend its SLB topologies by using the following configurations.

• Configuring proxy IP addresses
• Mapping ports
• Providing direct access to real servers
• Using delayed binding to prevent DoS attacks
