2. Analytics Profile
You must decide whether to use the default Analytics profile, or create a new one. As
mentioned previously, we recommend creating a new profile to get the most flexibility and
functionality out of AVR. If you choose to create a new profile after starting the template, you
must exit the template, create the profile, and then restart the template.
To use the default Analytics profile, choose Use Default Profile from the list.
To choose a custom profile, leave the list set to Select a Custom Profile, and then from the
Analytics profile list, select the custom profile you created.
Virtual Server Questions
The next section of the template asks questions about the BIG-IP virtual server. A virtual server
is a traffic-management object on the BIG-IP system that is represented by an IP address and a
service. Clients can send traffic to a virtual server, which then directs the traffic according to your
configuration instructions.
1. IP address for the virtual server
This is the address clients use to access VMware View (or a FQDN will resolve to this address).
You need an available IP address to use here.
2. Routes or secure network address translation
If the View servers do not have a route back for clients through the BIG-IP, i.e. if they do not
use the BIG-IP as the default gateway, the BIG-IP uses Secure Network Address Translation
(SNAT) Automap (exception in #3) to translate the client’s source address to an address
configured on the BIG-IP. The servers then use this new address as the destination address
when responding to traffic originating through the BIG-IP.
If you indicate the View servers do have a route back to the clients through the BIG-IP, the
BIG-IP does not translate the client’s source address; in this case, you must make sure that the
BIG-IP is configured as the gateway to the client networks (usually the default gateway) on
the View servers.
We recommend choosing No from the list because it is secure and does not require you to
configure routing manually.
If you are configuring your BIG-IP LTM in a “one-armed” configuration with your View servers
-- where the BIG-IP virtual server(s) and the View servers have IP addresses on the same
subnet – you must choose No.
3. More than 64,000 simultaneous connections
If you do not expect more than 64,000 simultaneous connections, leave this answer set to No
and continue with #4.
If you have a large deployment and expect more than 64,000 connections at one time, the
iApp creates a SNAT Pool instead of using SNAT Automap. With a SNAT Pool, you need one
IP address for each 64,000 connections you expect. Select Yes from the list. A new row
appears with an IP address field. In the Address box, type an IP address and then click Add.
Repeat for any additional IP addresses.
4. NTLM
If you have configured the View servers to use NTLM authentication, select Yes from the list. If
the View servers do not use NTLM, leave the list set to No.
