148 ServerIron ADX Firewall Load Balancing Guide
53-1002436-01
Configuration example for FWLB-to-SLB
6
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
The following commands add the firewall definitions to the firewall port group (always group 2). The
firewall group contains all the ports in VLAN 1 (the default VLAN).
SI-Ext-A(config)# server fw-group 2
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fw-name fw1
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fw-name fw2
The following command enables the active-active mode.
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# sym-priority 1
NOTE
Do not use the same number on both ServerIrons. For example, enter sym-priority 1 on one of the
ServerIron ADXs and sym-priority 255 on the other ServerIron.
The following commands add the paths through the firewalls to the other ServerIron ADX. Each
path consists of a path number, a ServerIron ADX port number, the IP address at the other end of
the path, and the next-hop IP address. In this example, the topology does not contain routers other
than the ServerIron ADXs. If your topology does contain other routers, configure firewall paths for
the routers too. For router paths, use the same IP address as the path destination and the next
hop.
NOTE
The path IDs must be in contiguous, ascending numerical order, starting with 1. For example, path
sequence 1, 2, 3, 4 is valid. Path sequence 4, 3, 2, 1 or 1, 3, 4, 5 is not valid.
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 1 4/1 10.10.2.222 10.10.1.1
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 2 3/1 10.10.2.222 10.10.1.2
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 3 4/1 10.10.2.223 10.10.1.1
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fwall-info 4 3/1 10.10.2.223 10.10.1.2
The following command sets the load balancing method to balance requests based on the firewall
that has the least number of connections for the requested service. Since the firewall definitions
above specify the HTTP service, the ServerIron ADX will load balance requests based on the firewall
that has fewer HTTP session entries in the ServerIron ADX session table.
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# fw-predictor per-service-least-conn
The following command is part of the always-active feature, which provides the additional data link
between the this ServerIron ADX and its partner.
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# l2-fwall
SI-Ext-A(config-fw-2)# exit
The following commands add static MAC entries for the firewall interfaces with the ServerIron ADX.
The static MAC entries are required only if the configuration uses static routes and a single virtual
routing interface, as in this example, and if the default gateway for the client or server is the
firewall. If the configuration uses a dynamic routing protocol (for example, RIP or OSPF), the static
entries are not required. Alternatively, the static entries are not required if you use the ServerIron
itself as the default gateway for the client or the server. For example, the static entries are not
required if you configure the client to use 10.10.1.111 as its default gateway.
SI-Ext-A(config)# vlan 1
SI-Ext-A(config-vlan-1)# static-mac-address 00e0.5201.0426 ethernet 4/1
priority 1 router-type
SI-Ext-A(config-vlan-1)# static-mac-address 00e0.5201.2180 ethernet 3/1
priority 1 router-type
SI-Ext-A(config-vlan-1)# exit
