Port
|
The port number.
|
Proxy IP Address
|
Sets the proxy IP address for this port, using dotted decimal notation. When defined, client address information in Layer 4 requests is replaced with this proxy IP address.
|
Load Balance State
|
The SLB state of the port.
- none: No SLB port. This is the default setting.
- client: Binds servers to clients and provide address translation from the virtual server IP address to the real server IP address, re-mapping virtual server IP addresses and port values to real server IP addresses and ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. Maximizing the number of these ports on the Layer 4 switch will improve the switch's potential for effective Server Load Balancing.
- server: Re-maps real server IP addresses and Layer 4 port values to virtual server IP addresses and Layer 4 ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. Do not use server processing on ports configured for application redirection or client ports configured with proxy IP addresses.
- client-server: SLB client and server port.
|
Hot Standby
|
Enables or disables hot-standby processing on the switch port. Use in conjunction with VRRP hot-standby failover. Disabled by default.
|
Inter-Switch
|
Enables or disables inter-switch processing. This option is enabled for ports connected to a peer switch and is disabled by default. Used only when configuring the WSM in VRRP Hotstandby.
|
Proxy IP State
|
Enables or disables a proxy for traffic that ingresses this port. When defined, client address information in Layer 4 requests is replaced with this proxy IP address.
In SLB, this forces response traffic to return through the switch, rather than around it, as is possible in complex routing environments.
Proxies are also useful for Application Redirection and Network Address Translation (NAT). When used with Application Redirection filters, each filter's real port must also be defined. Proxy IP State is disabled by default.
|
Return to Sender State
|
Enables or disables Return to Sender (RTS) load balancing on this port. This option is used for firewall load balancing or VPN load balancing applications. Enable RTS on all client-side ports to ensure that traffic ingresses and egresses through the same port. This option is disabled by default.
|
Intrusion Detection State
|
Enables or disables Intrusion Detection System Server Load Balancing. This option is disabled by default.
