Creating a basic real server
To apply SLB configuration, you must create a basic real server. After you create the basic real
server, you must map the real server to the virtual server to distribute the requests from the client
among the back-end application servers.
To configure a basic real server on the Brocade Virtual ADX, perform the following steps within the
Configure tab.
1. Click Traffic on the menu bar.
2. From the sidebar, select Real Servers.
The Real Servers page is displayed, as shown in Figure 64.
The Real Servers page displays a list of all the configured real servers. Each entry in the list
includes the real server name, IP address, port, and status.
3. Click New at the bottom of the Real Servers page.
The Real Sever - new page tab is displayed. By default, Basic configuration tab is displayed, as
shown in Figure 65.
