Farm Address – The IP address of the farm.

Server Address – The IP address of the server.

Server Name – The name of the physical server, used to group logical servers on the same physical platform for the purpose of group load statistics and recovery.

Admin. Status – Can be determined by the user as one of the following options:

• Enable - Server is active and ready to serve clients.

• Disable - Server is inactive, as if it doesn't currently exist.

• Shutdown - The Server is shut down. No new clients are attached to the server. Old connections will still be served until terminated by the client.

Operational Status – Regular or Backup mode. In Backup mode, the WSD will not send any messages to the server, unless all servers in Regular mode are down. When more than one backup server exists, the WSD determines which backup server to use, according to the Dispatch Method and Server Priority.

Weight – A server with a higher weight will serve more clients. The weight ranges from 1 to 10. A server with weight 2 will receive twice the amount of traffic as a server with weight 1. Not available for the cyclic dispatch method.

Attach Users Number – The number of active users on the server.

Peak Load – The highest number of packets per second on the server.

Frames Rate – The currrent number of frames transferred to this server in the last second.

Operation Mode – Whether the server is in regular or backup mode. When a server is in backup mode, the WSD will not send any messages to it unless all servers in regular mode are down. When more than one backup servers exists, the WSD determines which backup server to use according to the WSD Dispatch Method and Server Priority.

Multiplexed Server Port – All packets directed to this farm's multiplexed port will be sent to the server's multiplexed port - the port for which multiplexing is enabled. If you select Disabled for this field, multiplexing will not be enabled only on this server of this farm and packets. In this field, you can select any one of the values provided, or enter a port number manually.

Server Connection Limit – The maximum number of allowed sessions open at any given time on this application server. When the limit is reached, new sessions will no longer be redirected to this application server, and a trap will be sent to the management application. All current sessions will continue to be served. Use this option to protect your server against SYN attacks.

Server Type – can be one of the following:

• Regular - A local server (does not need redirection).

• Remote - An independent remote server connected in another Internet location.

• Distributed - A remote WSD DS/NP which manages another server farm in another location. Enables redirection of all IP protocols to it and supplies dynamic updates of its local load.

• Loop Back - When an inbound packet arrives, the WSD does not change the destination address – it only changes the MAC address. The server generates a response using the farm address as the source address. The response can be sent either through the WSD, or not.
