Once the VLM has been deployed it can be powered on:

  1. Right-click the Virtual Machine that was imported within the Virtual Machines pane.
  2. Click Start.
    Note: The VLM should begin to boot up.
  3. Right-click the VLM and select Connect to open the console window.

On initial deployment, DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 both run to attempt to obtain an IP address. If the LoadMaster obtains an IP address using DHCP, take note of it because this is how you will access the LoadMaster.

If the LoadMaster does not obtain an IP address using DHCP the static IP address of 192.168.1.101 is assigned and the LoadMaster must be manually configured using the console.

Refer to the Configuring the LoadMaster via the Console section for instructions on manually configuring the IP address.
