Configuring Virtual IPSettings
You can configure two nodes in a cluster to share a virtual IP address. The virtual IP address is bound to the
primary node by default. The secondary node takes over when the primary node is unavailable.
In a virtual machine deployment of W-ClearPass Policy Manager, you must enable forged transmits on the VMWare
distributed virtual switch for the Virtual IP feature to be effective.
To configure a virtual IP address:
1. Navigate to the Administration > Server Manager > Server Configuration page.
