Managing Load Balancer Service
vShield Edge provides load balancing for TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic. Load balancing, up to Layer 7, enables
Web application auto scaling.
You map an external, or public, IP address to a set of internal servers for load balancing. The load balancer
accepts TCP, HTTP, or HTTPS requests on the external IP address and decides which internal server to use.
Port 8090 is the default listening port for TCP, port 80 is the default port for HTTP, and port 443 is the default
port for HTTPs.
Configure Load Balancer Service
You can create a pool of backend servers and specify the services that the pool would support. You can then
associate two or more virtual machines behind a server pool for the load balancer service.
