Working with Internet Traffic Management (ITM)
Devices
The SA7100/SA7120 is compatible with Internet Traffic
Management (ITM) devices. In such environments, the SA7100/
SA7120 lies between the router and the ITM device, or between the
ITM device and the server. ITM devices distribute workload across
multiple servers and redirect traffic based on content.
Positioning
SA7100/

between ITM
Device and
Client Network If the ITM device supports layer 7 traffic management, URLs must
be readable (that is, unencrypted). Therfore, in environments
performing layer 7 load balancing, it is recommended that the
SA7100/SA7120 be placed between the ITM device and the client
network.
