ServerIronADXA(config)# server fw-group 2 
ServerIronADXA(config-fw-2)# fw-name FW1-IPin 
ServerIronADXA(config-fw-2)# fw-name FW2-IPin 
ServerIronADXA(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 1 3 192.168.2.200 192.168.1.30 
ServerIronADXA(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 2 5 192.168.2.200 192.168.1.40 
ServerIronADXA(config-fw-2)# exit
The following commands add static MAC entries for the MAC addresses of the firewall interfaces 
connected to the ServerIron ADX. Notice that the QoS priority is configured as priority 1 and the 
router-type parameter is specified. These parameters are required. 
NOTE
To ensure proper operation, always configure the path IDs so that the IDs consistently range from 
lowest path ID to highest path ID for the firewalls. For example, in Figure 21 on page 137, the path 
IDs should range from lowest to highest beginning with the firewall interface at the upper left of the 
figure. 
To ensure smooth operation, you might want to depict your firewalls in a vertical hierarchy as in 
Figure 21 on page 137, label the interfaces with their IP addresses, then configure the paths so that 
the path IDs to the interfaces range from lowest to highest path ID starting from the uppermost 
firewall interface.
ServerIronADXA(config)# static-mac-address abcd.4321.34e0 ethernet 3 priority 1

ServerIronADXA(config)# static-mac-address abcd.4321.34e1 ethernet 5 priority 1

ServerIronADXA(config)# write memory
Commands on ServerIron B (internal)
Enter the following commands to configure SLB. In an FWLB-to-SLB configuration, all SLB 
configuration takes place on the internal ServerIron ADX (ServerIron ADX B, the internal ServerIron 
ADX, in this example). 
The following commands change the ServerIron ADX’s host name to “ServerIron ADXB", configure 
the ServerIron ADX’s management IP address, and specify the default gateway.
ServerIronADX(config)# hostname ServerIronADXB 
ServerIronADXB(config)# ip address 192.168.2.200 255.255.255.0 
ServerIronADXB(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.2.1
The following commands configure the real servers.  Notice that the servers are configured as local 
servers instead of remote servers. You can configure the real servers as local servers if Proxy ARP 
is enabled on the internal router.
ServerIronADXB(config)# server real-name RS1 192.168.2.50 
ServerIronADXB(config-rs-RS1)# port http 
ServerIronADXB(config-rs-RS1)# exit 
ServerIronADXB(config)# server real-name RS2 192.168.2.60 
ServerIronADXB(config-rs-RS2)# port http 
ServerIronADXB(config-rs-RS2)# exit
The following commands configure the virtual server and bind it to the real servers with TCP port 
80 (HTTP). 
ServerIronADXB(config)# server virtual-name www.brocade.com 
192.168.1.2ServerIronADX
ServerIronADXB(config-vs-www.brocade.com)# port http
