Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Firewall server load balancing

Firewall load balancing (FWLB) lets you configure multiple active firewalls in parallel on the WSM. Parallel operation lets users maximize firewall productivity, scale firewall performance without forklift upgrades, and eliminate the firewall as a single point-of-failure.

This section includes the following topics:

• Firewall overview
• Methods of firewall load balancing
• About basic FWLB
• About free-metric FWLB
• About demilitarized zones
• Basic FWLB implementation
• Configuring basic FWLB
• Monitoring the firewall

For information about four-subnet firewall load balancing, see the Web OS Switch Software 10.0 Application Guide, part number 212777-A.
