Configure Load Balancer Redundancy on Allied Telesis Routers and Switches

5

Configure VRRP for the private side interface. This step creates a virtual address for the
private interface of both load balancing routers. Private servers use this address as their
gateway to the Internet, instead of using the address of the private interface of either router.
This means the servers’ gateway is independent of which router is the master load balancer.

enable vrrp

create vrrp=2 over=vlan3 ipaddress=192.168.1.202

When you configure your servers, enter the VRRP address as their gateway address.

Enable load balancing.

enable lb

Add a resource pool for web traffic.

add lb respool=web selectmethod=roundrobin faillast=no

Add resources to the web resource pool. In this example, two resource servers share the
web traffic.

add lb resource=web1 ip=192.168.1.1 port=80 respool=web

add lb resource=web2 ip=192.168.1.2 port=80 respool=web

Add and enable the Virtual Balancer for the web traffic that is to be balanced. This step also
defines the load balancer’s virtual public address. Public clients browse to this address,
instead of browsing to either routers’ public address. This means that the clients’ destination
address is independent of which router is the master load balancer.

add lb virtualbalancer=web publicip=172.214.1.2 publicport=80

respool=web

enable lb virtualbalancer=web

Define the load balancing redundancy peer (Load Balancer 2 in the figure in

"The

examples" on page 1

).

set lb redundancy peerip=192.168.2.1 listenport=5000

redunip=172.214.1.2 publicint=vlan2 redunmask=255.255.255.0
