Configure Network Load Balancing Parameters
To configure Network Load Balancing parameters, you must configure the cluster parameters, host parameters, and port rules.

Configure Cluster Parameters
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
2. Right-click Local Area Connection, and then click Properties.
3. In the Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, click to select the Network Load Balancing check box, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Cluster Parameters tab, and then type values in the IP address, Subnet mask, and Full Internet name check boxes.
5. Under Cluster operation mode, click Multicast to specify whether a multicast media access control address is used for cluster operations. If you select this option, Network Load Balancing converts the cluster network address into a multicast address when this is needed. It also makes sure that the cluster Internet Protocol (IP) addresses resolve to this multicast address as part of the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The network adapter to which the Network Load Balancing driver is bound retains its original media access control address. For more information, see the "Network Load Balancing clusters" Windows Server 2003 Help and Support Center topic.
6. Click to select the Allow remote control check box to turn on remote-control operations. Type the password in the Remote password and Confirm password boxes.
WARNING: The Network Load Balancing remote control option presents many security risks. Microsoft recommends that you do not turn on remote control and instead use Network Load Balancing Manager or other remote management tools such as Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).
For additional information about the use of Remote Control in Network Load Balancing, see the "Network Load Balancing parameters: Network Load Balancing Clusters" Windows Server 2003 Help and Support Center topic.
