Introducing WSD

1-1

WSD is a dynamic load balancing system for effective management of traffic, it offers powerful load balancing and fault tolerance capabilities, which together ensure the highest degree of availability and an effective growth path. The purpose of this Quick Start Guide is to describe, step by step, the basic configuration of WSD, from first-time installation to an up and running unit, based on the network design on the following page.

WSD Quick Start Guide

Chapter 1 - Introducing WSD

Radware has designed a suite of WSD products to provide you with both local and global solutions, depending on your network. The WSD family includes: WSD Pro: It is a basic version of the WSD Pro+ that does not contain global redirection support, application server support, and has limited bandwidth. WSD Pro+: Can manage up to 3,000 different farms. Each of the servers can serve any number of farms. WSD for Distributed Sites (WSD-DS): WSD-DS directs clients to the data center that is most available. Availability is determined by load, relative strength of server farms and bandwidth available to a site. This solution directs the user to the best available site, therefore providing optimal, reliable and efficient service. WSD for Network Proximity (WSD-NP): Provides a unique load balancing system that minimizes traffic on the organization's backbone, by means of a powerful dual decision-making mechanism that transparently redirects traffic to sites according to network proximity and actual load. For example, WSD-NP redirects clients to the nearest site, unless that site is overloaded or down, in which case it redirects clients to an alternative site, according to network proximity and availability, meaning current load.

Connecting WSD to Your Network

After you have mounted the device, you must connect the cables to it. The following connections should be completed, in this order: AC Power Connection ASCII Terminal (Serial) Connection LAN Connections

AC Power Connection
1. 2. To connect the AC power connection: Connect the power cable to the main socket, located on the rear panel of the device. Connect the power cable to the grounded AC outlet.

ASCII Terminal (Serial) Connection

The serial port connector varies depending on the platform of your device, as follows: Application Switch I: Application Switch II: The serial port connector is a 9-pin connector, which is connected the front panel. The serial port connector is a 9-pin connector, which is connected to the rear panel.

Note: WSD supports Telnet access, therefore you can create user names and passwords to control access, or disable Telnet access entirely.

1. 2. 3. 4.

To make the ASCII terminal connection: Connect the serial port connector to the front panel. Connect the other end of the serial port connector cable to your computer. Access HyperTerminal. From the HyperTerminal opening window, select the File menu, then Properties, Or

Configuring WSD IP Host Parameters

WSD IP host parameters enable an SNMP Network Management Station (NMS) to establish communication with the device.
Note: All other WSD parameters are configured using Radware's Configware software.

1. 2. 3.

To manually configure WSD IP host parameters in the Application Switch platforms: Ensure that the ASCII terminal is connected to the device. Turn on the power to the device. If you require to access the command line, press any key within three seconds of the boot up. The following command line is displayed: ? @ e w q u r print this list boot (load and go) print fatal exception download via xmodem erase configuration from flash download to secondary boot via xmodem clear Log file

4.

If you do not require to access this command line, the Startup Configuration window is automatically displayed. Select the @ symbol to access the Startup Configuration window.

Enter the number of the parameter for which you require to define the information. Enter the parameters configuration and click Enter. The value of the parameter is displayed in the screen. The following list defines the parameters in the Startup Configuration window: IP Address: The IP address of the interface is the only mandatory parameter. This address is used for SNMP management. IP Subnet Mask: The IP subnet mask address of the device. The default value of this parameter is the mask of the IP address class. Port Number: WSD port number to which the IP interface is defined. The default value is 1. Other possible values include 1, 2, or 1, 2, 3, 4, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, depending on the platform, or 100001. If you enter 100001, all WSD ports are included in the IP VLAN, and the IP interface therefore sits on the IP VLAN.

WSD Quick Start Guide

Chapter 2 - Installing WSD

Default Router IP Address: The IP Address of the router through which the NMS can be reached. The default value for this parameter is 0.0.0.0, which means that no default router is configured. RIP Version: The RIP version used by the network router. The default value for this parameter is: disable. OSPF Enable: This parameter enables or disables the OSPF protocol. The default value is: disable. OSPF Area ID: When the OSPF protocol is enabled, you can enter an area ID other than the default value. Enter an ID in the form of an IP address. The default value is 0.0.0.0. The following three parameters are only necessary when the NMS is remote to the CSD. They offer three different ways to connect to the remote NMS. If the NMS is remote, enter a value for at least one of the following options. NMS IP address: The required NMS IP address. Enter a value if you require to limit the device to a single, specified NMS. The default value is 0.0.0.0 (any NMS). Community Name: CSD community name. The default community name is public. Enter a different name that you want as the community name. Configuration file name: The name of the file, in a format required by the server, which contains the configuration. Select this parameter when you require to download a configure file an NMS. The file must, however, be located on the NMS, and the NMS must be located on a TFTP server. When you exit the Startup Configuration window, CSD loads that configuration file from the NMS, resets and starts operating with the new configuration. The default value is: no name. The remaining parameters allows you to enable the device to use remote terminals to configure the device, via Telnet, SSH, or Web Based Management. User Name: A username which is added to the Users Table. The default username is radware.

Chapter 2 - Installing WSD

User Password: The password used to access the device remotely using WBM, Telnet or SSH. The default password is radware. Telnet enable: Indicates whether Telnet access to the device is enabled. The default is No. SSH enable: Indicates whether Web access to the device is enabled. The default is No. Web Based Management enable: Enables Web Based Management.
Notes: 1. FireProof enters a default value for the parameters that are 1. incomplete, with the exception of the IP Address, which is mandatory. A validity check of all the parameters is then performed. 2. An initial default configuration is provided. When a device boots up 1. for the first time, if the Start-Up is not used for 30 seconds, and a 1. bootp server is not found within another 30 seconds, default settings 1. are assigned to the device. The initial default configuration consists 1. of a private IP Address (192.168.1.1), a subnet mask 1. 1. (255.255.255.0), an NMS IP Address (0.0.0.0, allowing any station 1. to manage the device using SNMP), community string of public, 1. Telnet, SSH and WBM are enabled with a default user of radware 1. with password radware.
