Setting Up Network channels
Network channel is a Weblogic resource that can be configure to separate and load balance network traffic for critical applications to achieve faster performance. Incase of heavy traffic on application servers, one can configure network channels to separate internal server communication from client user communication.
Brief on my current setup:
- Distributed setup
- Admin server and server1 running on host01
- Server2 is running on host02
- Server1 and server2 is a part of cluster1
- Node manager is configure to stop/start both manage sever1 and server2
- I have a application by the name of benefits.war deployed on cluster1
Steps to configure network channel:
- Login to Admin console – Navigate to manage server JVM in my case I am creating network channel on server01 – click on Protocol tab -click on Channels tab – click Lock Edit -Click new –name field provide any name in my case I have provided Channel-1 -Protocal select http.
