Adding direct server access to CSM in bridge mode

mserwon · ‎09-23-2005

I have a CSM that I have set up in bridge mode and want to allow direct management access to the real servers.

It looks like this. MSFC 10.1.100.1

CSM 10.1.100.3

Reals 10.1.100.10

10.1.100.20

10.1.100.25

Virtual 10.1.100.130

10.1.100.140

I tried to use the same method that I found for routed mode on CCO.

Serverfarm SERVER-SUBNET

No nat server

Predictor forward

Vserver DIRECT-ACCESS

Virtual 10.1.100.0 255.255.255.0 tcp any

Serverfarm SERVER-SUBNET

Inservice

The next step in the documentation says to add a static route to the CSM

Ip route 10.1.100.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.100.3

But this does not make since since the MSFC 10.1.100.1 address is already the default gateway.

So is there another way to configure bridge mode and enable direct management access?

After I thought about bridge mode again and took out the direct-access and server-subnet commands. I tested again and I can now directly access the servers.
