Configuring Groups and VLANs for a Server NIC 63
Working With Server Features
The DynamicAccess server features window contains tabs
for these windows:
■ In the Load Balance/RSL window, you can create and
change Load Balancing/RSL groups. The NICs in a group
work together to route traffic efficiently and to recover
from failures.
■ In the VLANs window, you can set up virtual LANs. All
groups listed on the Load Balance/RSL window also
appear as groups in the VLAN window. Any ungrouped
NICs in the Load Balance/RSL window are also listed in
the VLAN window.
Windows 2000
Access DynamicAccess server features through the
Windows 2000 Network and Dial-up Connections window
as follows:
1 Log in to Windows 2000 with administrator
privileges.
2 Launch the Windows 2000 Network and Dial-up
Connections window.
3 Select a Local Area Connection icon.
4 Click the right mouse button and select Properties.
The Local Area Connections Properties window appears.
5 Click the General tab.
6 In the General window, select DynamicAccess
Protocol and click Properties.
The DynamicAccess Protocol Properties window appears.
Click the appropriate tab to configure server features.
CAUTION: Before creating or removing a load balancing
group or VLAN, take note of configuration information
such as IP addresses and IPX network numbers.
DynamicAccess server software does not restore a
network configuration to its pre-DynamicAccess state.
Always verify that the network configuration conforms
to your expectations after creating or removing a load
balancing group or VLAN.
