Firewall Load Balancing
Document ID: RDWR-ALOS-V2900_AG1302 663
Using the hash metric, all traffic between specific IP source/destination address pairs flows
through the same firewall. This ensures that sessions established by the firewalls are maintained
for their duration.
Note: Other load-balancing metrics such as leastconns, roundrobin, minmiss, response, and
bandwidth can be used when enabling the transparent load balancing option. For more
information, see Free-Metric FWLB, page 683
.
7. Enable SLB.
8. Create a filter to allow local subnet traffic on the dirty side of the firewalls to reach the firewall
interfaces.
9. Create the FWLB redirection filter.
This filter redirects inbound traffic, load-balancing it among the defined real servers in the
group. In this network, the real servers represent IP interfaces on the clean-side Alteon.
10. Enable FWLB.
