1-Armed Direct Server Return (DSR) is used when the return traffic, from the load-balanced servers, can bypass the WebMux
This is also known as Direct Direct Routing or Out-of-Path (OOP)
The IPMI Port on the A500X, A500XD, and A600X models provides:
• Remote Power On and Power Off
• Remote console for troubleshooting
• IPMI data such as temp and fan speeds for data center operators who use IPMI
The MGMT port provides WebMux configuration LAN access. This separate port allows out-of-band management - separate from the LAN ports used for load-balancing functions.
The BACKUP port is used for High Availability (HA) failover communication for a pair of WebMux configuration
1-Armed DSR means that the clients come into the WebMux, get directed to a back-end server, and that server bypasses the WebMux on its response out to the client.
One connection or all four may be used, depending on the switch and its configuration options.
NETWORK TRAFFIC PORTS are, by default, configured as one aggregated link (LAG, "Etherchannel," etc.) to
provide maximum throughput.
