4. Set the HTTP virtual service to be used in the defined virtual server.
Note: The back-end server listening port (rport) is set to 80 (vport). For a different network
setting, rport can be configured manually. If the back-end server listening port was previously
configured to a specific port, it will not be modified and must be configured manually if required.
5. Enable DAM or configure proxy IP addresses, and enable proxy on the client port.
6. When using back-end encryption, Radware recommends using multiplexing to minimize the
server load of performing new SSL handshakes. For more details on multiplexing, see Content-
