Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation of the Traffic Manager virtual appliance, make sure you have the version appropriate to your hypervisor platform, and suitable license keys for each Traffic Manager instance you want to create.

Make sure that you have the following information:

•Hostnames for each of the virtual appliance instances that you are creating.

•IP addresses for each of the interfaces that you intend to use on each virtual appliance.

•Subnet masks for each of the IP addresses you are using.

•The domain name to which your appliances belong (optional)

•The IP address for the default gateway.

•The IP address for each name server that the virtual appliance uses to resolve your internal network addresses (optional).

•The DNS search path (the "local part" of your machine hostnames) (optional). This item is commonly the same as the domain name.

•An Admin password for the Admin UI.

You administer all Traffic Manager variants through a Web-enabled user interface. The Traffic Manager supports the following browsers for this purpose:

•Internet Explorer: v.11 or newer

•Microsoft Edge: latest version

•Mozilla Firefox: latest version

•Apple Safari: latest version

•Google Chrome: latest version

Ivanti does not warrant the use of browser versions older than those listed here due to potential discontinuation of security updates by the vendor.

Ivanti recommends using one or more test servers (for example, Web servers) to which you can direct traffic.
