Prerequisites

Before you begin the installation of your Traffic Manager software, make sure you have the correct software version for your operating system and suitable license keys for each Traffic Manager instance you want to install.

Verify also that your installation target host systems conform to the following:

•The correct IP addresses are configured and raised automatically at boot time.

•All hosts can ping each other on the configured IP addresses.

•All hosts can route traffic to external networks.If you plan to use a separate management network, make sure it is correctly configured and that all hosts can communicate with each other and with your own management Web browser across this network.

Traffic IP addresses automatically raised by the Traffic Manager should not be raised by the operating system. For more information on Traffic IP addresses, see the Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager: User’s Guide.

You administer all Traffic Manager variants through a Web-enabled user interface known as the Admin UI. Host firewall programs or similar traffic restriction mechanisms might initially be configured to deny access to the port used by the Admin UI (by default, TCP port 9090). Before you can configure the Traffic Manager, ensure you have enabled access to this port, and any other ports necessary to your requirements. See the Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager: User’s Guide for full information on the ports used by the Traffic Manager.

The Traffic Manager Admin UI supports the following browsers:

•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.
