3. On ServerDM1-#, open Server Manager, and click Tools, Network Load Balancing Manager
from the menu.
4. Right-click Network Load Balancing Clusters and click New Cluster. Type ServerDM1-# in
the Host text box and click Connect. After you’re connected, the New Cluster: Connect dialog
box shows the available interfaces for ServerDM1-# (see Figure 8-17, p.297 in the textbook).
5. Click Ethernet (the adapter with address 192.168.0.2) to choose the adapter you want to use
for NLB traffic. The other interface will be used strictly for cluster communication between
cluster servers. Click Next.
6. In the New Cluster: Host Parameters dialog box (see Figure 8-18, p.298 in the textbook),
accept the default value 1 in the Priority (unique host identifier) text box. The Dedicated IP
addresses section lists the IP address used when an external device communicates directly
with the server, for example, for remote management purposes. The Default state option
specifies how this host should behave when it boots. The default state is Started, which means
this host participates in the cluster when the system boots. Click Next.
7. In the New Cluster: Cluster IP Addresses dialog box, click Add. Type 192.168.0.100 in the
IPv4 address text box and 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet mask text box. This is the virtual IP
address that client computers will use to access the cluster. Click OK, and then click Next.
8. In the New Cluster: Cluster Parameters dialog box, type nlb.mcsa2016.local in the Full
Internet name textbox. This is the name client that computers use to access the cluster and
corresponds to the DNS record you created in Step 1. In the Cluster operation mode section,
click the Multicast option button as shown in Figure 8-19, p.298 in the textbook. Click Next.
9. In the New Cluster: Port Rules dialog box, read the port rule description for the default port
rule, and then click Finish.
10. To add ServerDM2-# as a second cluster host, right-click nlb.mcsa2016.local and click Add
Host To Cluster.
11. Type ServerDM2-# in the Host text box and click Connect. After the Ethernet interface is
listed in the Interfaces available for configuring the cluster list box, click the interface with
address 192.168.0.3 and click Next.
12. In the Add Host to Cluster: Host Parameters dialog box, leave the Priority setting at the default
value of 2, and click Next.
13. In the Add Host to Cluster: Port Rules dialog box, click Finish.
14. A correctly configured and working NLB cluster shows the status of both servers as
Converged, and both servers are outlined in green, as shown in Figure 8-20, p.299 in the
textbook. Take a screenshot showing BOTH servers in the NLB cluster converged and paste it
below. Make sure the VM number in the top left-hand corner is in the screenshot for full credit
for this step.
 Screenshot:

15. To test that the cluster is working correctly, open a command prompt window on ServerDC1-#.
Type ping nlb and press Enter. You should get successful ping replies. The first ping might
time out, but this is normal.
16. Type arp -a and press Enter to see the ARP table. You should see an entry for 192.168.0.100
with a MAC address that begins with 03, which is a multicast MAC address. After running the
command, take a screenshot of the results and paste it below. Make sure the VM number in
the top left-hand corner is in the screenshot for full credit for this step.
 Screenshot:

17. Stay signed in to all three servers if you’re continuing to the next activity.
 Note: Configuring an NLB cluster can be complex, and much can go wrong. DNS must
be set up correctly, NICs must be capable of dynamic MAC address changes, and the
IP configuration must be correct. If you believe you have everything set correctly but the
NLB Manager still reports errors, shut down both servers and restart them. Open the
NLB Manager after both servers have restarted to see whether the problem has been
solved.
Activity 8-4: Resetting Your Virtual Environment
Objective: Reset your virtual environment by applying the InitialConfig checkpoint or snapshot.

Required VMs: ServerDC1-#, ServerDM1-#, and ServerDM2-# (# being your VM number)

Description: You are finished using NLB and will install Failover Clustering next. NLB and Failover
Clustering cannot be installed on the same server, so you will apply the InitialConfig checkpoint or
snapshot to ServerDC1-#, ServerDM1-#, and ServerDM2-# to reset your environment.

1. Be sure ServerDC1-#, ServerDM1-#, and ServerDM2-# are shut down.

2. In the VMware dashboard, click on the ServerDC1-# server but do not start it.
