Creating a virtual
server
You can create a virtual server on the BIG-IP system, where clients send application
requests. The virtual server manages the network resources for the web application that
you are securing with a security policy.
- On the Main tab, click .The Virtual Server List screen opens.
- ClickCreate.The New Virtual Server screen opens.
- In theNamefield, type a unique name for the virtual server.
- In theDestination Address/Maskfield, type an address, as appropriate for your network.The supported format is address/prefix, where the prefix length is in bits. For example, an IPv4 address/prefix is10.0.0.1or10.0.0.0/24, and an IPv6 address/prefix isffe1::0020/64or2001:ed8:77b5:2:10:10:100:42/64. When you use an IPv4 address without specifying a prefix, the BIG-IP system automatically uses a/32prefix.
- In theService Portfield, type80, or selectHTTPfrom the list.
- From theHTTP Profilelist:
- If you previously created an HTTP profile, then select the profile you created.
- Otherwise, selecthttp.
- From theSource Address Translationlist, select the appropriate translation.
- From theDefault Poollist, select the pool that is configured for the application server.
