Creating a web application server node
Local traffic pools use nodes as resources for load balancing. A
node
is an IP address that represents a
server resource, which hosts applications.- If you plan to add youranti-fraudprofile to an existing virtual server (i.e., you are not going to create a new virtual server for your profile), you do not need to create a new web application node.
- An alternate way to create a node is to create a pool member. When you create a pool member, the BIG-IP system automatically creates the corresponding node. For example, if you create pool member10.10.20.30:80, the system automatically creates a node with the address10.10.20.30.
- On the Main tab, expandLocal Traffic, and clickNodes.The Node List screen opens.
- Click theCreatebutton.The New Node screen opens.
- In theNamefield, type a descriptive label for the node.Names are case-sensitive.
- In theAddressfield, type the IP address of the web application server.
- ClickFinished.The screen refreshes, and the new node appears in the node list.
