Implementing LSNAT
To implement LSNAT in your network:
-
Configure one or more server farms by:
- Specifying a server farm name
- Configuring real servers as members of the server farm
- Specifying a load balancing algorithm for each server farm
-
Configure each real server by:
- Optionally configuring and assigning a probe(s) to monitor real server state, port verification and application content verification
- Optionally limiting the maximum number of active connections for this real server
- Optionally specifying a round robin weight value for this real server
- Enabling the real server for service
-
Configure a virtual server by:
- Specifying a virtual server name
- Associating a virtual server with a server farm
- Configuring a virtual server IP address (VIP)
- Configuring a source NAT pool
- Optionally restricting access to specific virtual server clients
- Optionally specifying a sticky type and idle timeout
- Enabling the virtual server for service
-
Configure global virtual server settings by:
- Optionally defining a non-standard FTP port (IPv4 only) or TFTP port to be used by virtual servers
- Optionally allowing all clients to directly access all services provided by real servers
-
Manage a real server by clearing load balancing connections or statistics
