   Note:

   The number of dynamic servers configured depends on the available system resources and the scalability requirements.
9. Enter a prefix for the dynamic server in the Server Name Prefix field. For example, hdr_server-.

   Based on the number of dynamic servers configured, the number of corresponding managed servers are created. For example, if you have configured three dynamic servers, three corresponding managed servers (hdr_server-1, hdr_server-2, and hdr_server-3) are created.

    The server template contains configurations such as Protocol, Services, SSL, Tuning, and so on, which are configured at each managed server level.
