IP Configuration
Name
Enter a descriptive name for identification purposes for this rule.
IP Address
Enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address for a cluster.
MAC Address
Enter a multicast or unicast MAC address added in the
Advanced Application
>
NLB
screen.
The last binary bit of the first octet pair in a multicast MAC address must be 1. For example, the
first octet pair 00000001 is 01 and 00000011 is 03 in hexadecimal, so 01:00:5e:00:00:0A and
03:00:5e:00:00:27 are valid multicast MAC addresses.
The last binary bit of the first octet pair in a unicast MAC address must be 0. For example, the
first octet pair 00000000 is 00 and 00000010 is 02 in hexadecimal, so 00:00:5e:00:00:0A and
02:00:5e:00:00:27 are valid unicast MAC addresses.
