Set Up the Traffic Nodes in an Atlas Cluster

For each traffic node that you want to have in your BeyondTrust cluster, perform the following steps on the primary node:

Atlas Cluster Primary Node Management Page Traffic Nodes

  1. o to /login > Management > Cluster.
  2. Look at the Traffic Nodes section.
  3. Click Add New Traffic Node.

 

Atlas Add New Traffic Node Section

  1. Enter the following information on the Add Traffic Node page:
    • Accepting New Client Connections: Be sure this is checked; otherwise, clients will not use the traffic node. As soon as this option is checked, the new setting takes effect automatically via Ajax scripting, and all new BeyondTrust endpoint client connections are routed to the affected traffic node per the Atlas cluster configuration.
    • Name: Enter a name that you will use to remember this node in the cluster. This name must be unique among all nodes in the cluster.
    • Timezone Offset: This is used only if the method for choosing traffic nodes is set to Timezone Offset. This process involves detecting the time zone setting of the machine hosting the client and using that setting to match the appropriate traffic node which has the closest time zone offset. The time zone offset is derived from the customer time zone setting relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For countries or zones that use Daylight Saving Time (DST), enter the currently active time zone for the node in question. The cluster offsets for DST automatically.
    • Public Address:
      • Enter the node hostname that you set up in DNS for this node.
      • Enter the port over which clients will communicate with the node.
    • Internal Address: This can be the same as the public address. Advanced configurations can optionally set this to a different hostname for inter-appliance communication.
    • Network Address Prefixes: When this field is populated, the primary node attempts to assign a client to this traffic node if the client's IP address matches one of the network address prefixes. If the client's IP address matches more than one traffic node's network address prefixes, the client is assigned to the traffic node with the longest matching prefix. If the matching prefixes are of equal length, one of the matching traffic nodes is chosen at random. If a client's IP address does not match any network address prefixes, the client is assigned using the method configured on the main Cluster page.

      Enter network address prefixes, one per line, in the form of ip.add.re.ss[/netmask]. Netmask is optional and can be given in either dotted-decimal format or as an integer bitmask. If netmask is omitted, a single IP address is assumed.

      You may leave this field blank.
