The following prerequisites must be configured before attempting the steps in this document:

  • You must have an OTC account.
  • The LoadMaster private image must be uploaded to the OTC workspace.
  • You must have access to the relevant Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) and subnets.
  • A security group must be configured specifying the relevant ports and protocols. We recommend having:
    • TCP rules for ports 8443, 6973 (for High Availability (HA) synchronization), and 8444
    • A UDP rule for port 53 (for DNS)
    • An SSH rule for port 22 (not essential unless it is a GEO LoadMaster or you are using Kemp 360 Central)

  • An External IP address (EIP) must be configured.

  • For a single LoadMaster with a Public IP address (PIP), if you want more than one Virtual Service IP address then you need multiple PIPs. You cannot bind PIPs to Virtual Services (only Network Interface Cards (NICs)) so the LoadMaster needs multiple NICs.
  • For High Availability (HA) LoadMasters with an Enhanced Load Balancer (ELB), the ELB must be configured to allow NAT from public or multiple PIPs to each Virtual Service.
