ServerIron ADX Firewall Load Balancing Guide 119

Configuration example for FWLB with Layer 3 NAT firewalls
5
DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Access policy method
To disable load balancing for the NAT addresses using IP access policies, enter commands such as
the following.
ServerIronADX-A(config)# ip filter 1 deny any 209.157.23.110 255.255.255.255
ServerIronADX-A(config)# ip filter 2 deny any 209.157.23.107 255.255.255.255
ServerIronADX-A(config)# ip filter 1024 permit any any
The first two commands configure policies to deny load balancing for the two NAT addresses. The
third command allows all other traffic to be load balanced.
NOTE
The third policy, which permits all traffic, is required because once you define an access policy, the
default action for packets that do not match a policy is to deny them. Thus, if you configure only the
first two policies and not the third one, you actually disable load balancing altogether by denying the
load balancing for all packets.
Configuration example for FWLB with Layer 3 NAT firewalls
This section shows the CLI commands for implementing the configuration shown in Figure 18. Note
that the configuration steps are similar to those required for the basic configuration shown in
Figure 2 on page 11. The only additional step required is to ensure that the ServerIronADX
connected to the external network does not load balance return traffic to the addresses the
firewalls use for NAT. For example, ServerIron ADX A in
Figure 18 must be configured so that it does
not load balance return traffic to 209.157.23.107/24 or 209.157.23.110/24.
CLI commands on ServerIron ADX A (external)
The following commands configure ServerIronADX-A in Figure 18 for FWLB.
The hostname command changes the host name of the device to match the name used in
Figure 18. The ip address and ip default-gateway commands configure the device’s management
IP address and its default gateway.
The no span command disables the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on the ServerIronADX.
ServerIronADX(config)# hostname ServerIronADX-A
ServerIronADX-A(config)# ip address 209.157.23.106 255.255.255.0
ServerIronADX-A(config)# ip default-gateway 209.157.23.108
ServerIronADX-A(config)# no span
The following commands add the firewalls. The IP addresses are the firewalls’ interfaces with the
ServerIron ADX.
ServerIronADX-A(config)# server fw-name fw1 209.157.23.108
ServerIronADX-A(config-rs-fw1)# exit
ServerIronADX-A(config)# server fw-name fw2 209.157.23.109
ServerIronADX-A(config-rs-fw2)# exit
The following commands add firewall entries for the hidden NAT addresses. These entries prevent
the ServerIron ADX from load balancing the firewall traffic to these addresses. The ServerIron ADX
forwards a return packet addressed to one of these firewalls directly to the firewall that sent it,
instead of using the hash mechanism to select a path for the traffic.
