Managing Real Servers
Real servers are physical devices that are assigned to a server farm and provide services that are load balanced. When a server receives a client request, it sends the reply to the CVDM-CSM to forward it to the client.
From the Real Server page, you can configure the named real servers by their IP address and location.
In the Content Switching Module with SSL (CSM-S) daughter card, the CSM treats the SSL daughter card as a special real server. You can configure the real server inside a Server farm with the local SSL option to direct the traffic to the SSL daughter card.
