Configuring active-active HA FWLB with VRRP
This section shows examples of commonly used ServerIron ADX IronClad FWLB deployments with
Layer 3 configurations. The ServerIronADXs in these examples perform Layer 3 routing in addition
to Layer 2 and Layer 4–7 switching.
Generally, the steps for configuring Layer 4–7 features on a ServerIronADX running Layer 3 are
similar to the steps on a ServerIronADX that is not running Layer 3. The examples focus on the
Layer 3 aspects of the configurations.
NOTE
The configurations shown in these examples are the ones that are supported. If you need to use the
ServerIron ADX’s Layer 3 routing support in a FWLB configuration that is not shown, contact
Brocade.
Overview of active-active FWLB with VRRP
Figure 12 shows an example of an active-active FWLB configuration that uses Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). Each pair of ServerIron ADXs provides redundant FWLB, while VRRP
on the external pair of ServerIron ADXs provides redundancy for the default gateway address used
by the client.
