Configuring SLB-to-FWLB
6
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
The tasks under the first item (Configure SLB parameters on the Internet ServerIron ADX) are
described in the following sections. The remaining tasks are identical to the tasks for configuring
basic FWLB for Layer 3 firewalls. For more information about these tasks, refer to
“Configuring
basic Layer 3 FWLB” on page 17.
Configuring the SLB parameters
In an SLB-to-FWLB configuration, all SLB configuration takes place on the Internet ServerIron ADX.
The ServerIron ADX on the private side of the firewalls does not contain any SLB configuration
information. This section describes how to configure the Internet ServerIron ADX to provide SLB for
the real servers and virtual server shown in
Figure 20 on page 136.
Configuring the real servers
To configure the real servers shown in Figure 20 on page 136, enter the following commands on
the Internet ServerIron ADX (ServerIron A).
NOTE
In SLB-to-FWLB configurations, you must define the real servers as remote servers.
ServerIronADXA(config)# server remote-name RS1 192.168.2.50
ServerIronADXA(config-rs-RS1)# port http
ServerIronADXA(config-rs-RS1)# exit
ServerIronADXA(config)# server remote-name RS2 192.168.2.60
ServerIronADXA(config-rs-RS2)# port http
ServerIronADXA(config-rs-RS2)# exit
The server remote-name command adds a real server. The port command enables a TCP or UDP
port on the server. In this case, the port http command enables TCP port 80 (HTTP).
NOTE
If you use the server real-name command instead of the server remote-name command, the real
servers are added as local servers. You must add them as remote servers for SLB-to-FWLB.
Syntax: [no] server remote-name <text> <ip-addr>
Syntax: [no] port <port> [disable | enable]
Syntax: [no] port <port> [keepalive]
Configuring the virtual server
To configure the virtual server shown in Figure 20 on page 136, enter the following command on
the Internet ServerIron ADX (ServerIron A).
ServerIronADXA(config)# server virtual-name www.brocade.com 192.168.1.2
ServerIronADXA(config-vs-www.brocade.com)# port http
The server virtual-name command adds the virtual server. The port command enables a TCP or
UDP port on the server.
Syntax: [no] server virtual-name <text> [<ip-addr>]
