4.2. Logging Into the Piranha Configuration Tool
When configuring the Load Balancer Add-On, you should always begin by configuring the primary router with the Piranha Configuration Tool. To do this,verify that the
piranha-gui service is running and an administrative password has been set, as described in Section 2.2, “Setting a Password for the Piranha Configuration Tool”.
If you are accessing the machine locally, you can open
http://localhost:3636 in a Web browser to access the Piranha Configuration Tool. Otherwise, type in the host name or real IP address for the server followed by :3636. Once the browser connects, you will see the screen shown in Figure 4.1, “The Welcome Panel”.
