Creating a virtual server
A virtual server acts as a front end for the application server for distributing the service requests to
the active real servers. When a client sends a TCP or UDP requests to an application port in the
virtual server, the Brocade Virtual ADX identifies one of the back-end application servers (real
servers) based on the configured load balancing method and forwards the client request to the
identified server.
To configure a basic virtual 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 Virtual Server.
The Virtual Server page is displayed, as shown in Figure 54 .
