=Configure the new loop back device=
Within Windows, goto the '''Network connections''', <br>
with Server 2012 you can '''run''' and type '''ncpa.ctl'''

Rename to loopback adapter to '''loopback''', rename the ethernet adapter to '''lan'''<br>
[[File:03-01-10-AddHWLoopback.png|320px]]<br><br>

Edit the properties of '''IPv4''' on the loopback adapter<br>
[[File:03-01-11-LoopbackPropertie.png|320px]]<br><br>

Enter the VIP (Virtual IP) = '''192.168.2.220/24''', click '''Advanced'''<br>
[[File:03-01-12-LoopbackIP.png|320px]]<br><br>

Disable '''Automatic metric''', make the adapter aware of the '''ARP''' issue<br>
Enter a high number, like 254, click OK<br>
[[File:03-01-13-LoopbackMetric.png|320px]]<br><br>

Open an administrative console and enter:
 '''netsh interface ipv4 set interface "lan" weakhostreceive=enabled'''
 '''netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostreceive=enabled'''
 '''netsh interface ipv4 set interface "loopback" weakhostsend=enabled'''

See this for more information about those commands:

=Testing the new loop back device=

From the Windows host try to open the URL<br>
*http://192.168.2.220
*http://192.168.2.221
From an Network client try to open the URL<br>
*http://192.168.2.221

The result should be the default IIS Webpage<br>
