Implementing LSNAT

To implement LSNAT in your network:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. Manage a real server by clearing load balancing connections or statistics
