If a one-armed configuration is selected, then the following is true:

  • Real Servers and Virtual Services will be part of the same logical network – sometimes called flat-based - this implies that both have public IP addresses if used for services within the Internet.

  • Server NAT does not make sense for one-armed configurations.

  • Does not automatically imply the use of Direct Server Return (DSR) methods on the Real Servers

  • IP address transparency will function properly if clients are located on the same logical network as the LoadMaster in a DSR configuration. IP address transparency is not supported when clients are located on the same logical network as the LoadMaster in a NAT configuration. Refer to the Transparency Feature Description for further details on transparency.

The one armed solution may be set-up in both a single and HA configuration.
