This section explains the maintenance procedures of network devices (firewalls, server load balancers, and L2 switches).
This section explains the procedure for addition, assuming a case where it is necessary to add L2 switches, since the LAN ports of the L2 switch to connect to are insufficient when adding servers.
The explanation is mainly about operations related to L2 switches.
