== Configuring Port and Client Affinity ==

Network traffic arrives on one of a number of different ports (for example FTP traffic uses ports 20 and 21 while HTTP traffic uses port 80). Network Load Balancing may be configured on a port by port basis or range of ports. For each port three options are available to control the forwarding of the traffic:

* '''Single''' - Requests from a single source IP address are directed to the same cluster node.

* '''Network''' - Requests originating from within the same Class C network address range are directed to the same cluster node.

== Installing the Network Load Balancing Feature ==

To begin the cluster creation process, right click on the ''Network Load Balancing Clusters'' entry in the left panel of the manager window and select the ''New Cluster'' menu option. This will display the New Cluster connection dialog. In this dialog, enter either the name or IP address of the first server to be included in the load balanced cluster and press the Connect button to establish a connection to that server. If the connection is successful the first server will be listed as shown below:
