Adding a Virtual Service

The IP Service configuration screen is the main configuration screen for load balancing functionality and it can be found in (Setup – IP Services).

• 1. Click Add IP. This will add a blank row
• 2. Double Click on a column to edit.
• 3. Start with the IP Address column and tab to each column in turn
• 4. Click Update once all available columns have been completed

Adding another Service to the Same Channel

To set up another service on the same IP Address click “Add Port”

This will add another group of settings similar to the first set. This time you do not need to specify the listening IP or subnet as it has already been added.
This now allows you to set up the new ports to each of the content CAS servers.

Adding a Content Server

To add a Client Access Server navigate to the bottom section of the page called “Content Servers“

• 1. Click Add New, this will add a blank row.
• 2. Double Click on the IP Address column and add in your IP Address.
• 3. Tab to the Port column and enter in the port number for your service
• 4. Tab to the Notes section and add in the name of the client access server.

Content Server Monitor

For Exchange 2010 HTTPS OWA service you can create a Layer 7 application layer health check to ensure a server is capable of serving content.

Navigate to the Configure – Content-Server Monitoring section.

• 1.Click Add Records
• 2.A new blank row will be created
• 3.Double Click on the Name column to edit then tab to each subsequent tab and complete each column as below
• 4.This rule name will now appear in the Actions – Monitoring which you can select to apply to the 443 channel.

SSL Certificates

If you have chosen the option to configure OWA as a layer 7 service you will need to create or import a certificate in to the ALB-X.

Once you have either imported an existing certificate or created it on the jetNEXUS ALB-X you will then be able to select it from the SSL drop down within the Actions section.

Please refer to the userguide for more information how to manage SSL certificates.

TCP Timeout Changes

By default the jetNEXUS ALB-X has a 90 second timeout for TCP connections. Whilst this is very efficient for web traffic it is more desirable to extend this for Exchange 2010 deployment.

Please email support@edgenexus.io with your preferred TCP timeout value.

Values between 5 Minutes and 2 hours are recommended but we can customise this to any value you require.

Support@edgenexus.io will send you a custom configuration update file which you then upload on to the ALB-X. This is a very quick and simple procedure that can be completed from within the GUI in around 15 seconds.

You can download a 2 hour TCP timeout jetPACK update here

To apply the jetPACK update

• 1. Navigate to Advanced – Update Software – Configuration
• 2. Click Browse (for the file above)
• 3. Click Upload and wait for approximately 15s
• 4. When the screen returns the TCP update has been applied
