Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of recommended and maximum VNF instances?
The recommended value is the number of instances tested by Kemp to deliver the indicated platform performance. Adding more instances may impact on the overall platform capacity.
What version of LoadMaster OS does LoadMaster MT support?
LoadMaster MT requires a minimum of LoadMaster 7.1-34.
Can tenant instances run different versions of LoadMaster?
Yes. Any mix of LoadMaster versions of 7.1-34 or later is supported.
Is the LoadMaster Web Application Firewall (WAF) supported?
The WAF engine and rules updates are included when LoadMaster-MT is licensed with an Enterprise Plus subscription.
