Manage load balancers

Restrictions and guidelines

• A DNS IP address must belong to a network segment shared by all NAS servers of all NAS groups. Different DNS IP addresses must belong to different network segments.

• As a best practice, make sure a DNS IP address belongs to the same network segment as a dynamic service IP address in a NAS group.

• Different DNS IP addresses cannot belong to the same network.

• The load balancer page displays a maximum of five DNS IP addresses. To display all DNS IP addresses, click More.
