This is the network mask of the Router LAN network. It is usually 255.255.255.0
for class C networks.
Enter Server LAN WebMux IP Address:
This is the IP address of the WebMux interface that connects to the Server LAN.
This IP address must also be unique for each WebMux. This address must be
different from the server LAN gateway address. The purpose of this IP address
is to allow WebMux checking the network and server healthy situation. Even for
the backup WebMux, this address must be unique. It is highly recommended to
add this IP address to your servers /etc/hosts file, along with the gateway IP
address, to allow faster name resolution, especially on Linux/Unix.
In an installation with a primary and secondary WebMux, one unique IP address
is required for each WebMux interface that connects to the Server LAN. Those
two unique IP addresses are in addition to the gateway IP address that is floating
between the primary and secondary WebMux.
These IP addresses cannot be your Internet registered addresses. They must be
Internet non-routable. For example, you can assign addresses in a 10.0.0.0
network address range, or a 192.168.199.0, etc.
Enter Server LAN Network IP Address Mask:
This is the network mask of the Server LAN. For a class A network, it may be
255.0.0.0. For a class C network, it may be 255.255.255.0.
Enter Server LAN Gateway IP address:
This IP address will be the Default Gateway entry for all the servers on the
Server LAN. In an installation with two WebMuxes, if a gateway IP address of
10.1.1.1 is used, this address will ‘float’ between the primary and secondary
WebMux. If the Primary went down, the 10.1.1.1 address will float to the backup.
