This section allows users to edit, change, and update various configurations of the LSLB farms. Each farm profile has distinct parameters, as each one manages traffic through different layers of the OSI model. The available configuration parameters are described below:
There are two kinds of views available in the Global Settings:
Basic. These are general parameters related to the farm profile. You can modify basic settings, such as the Farm Name (only if the farm is stopped), as well as the Virtual IP and Port where the farm handles incoming traffic.
Advanced. These are additional parameters specific to the farm profile. Here, you can adjust settings related to traffic behavior.
Global Settings for L4xNAT Farm Profile #
The L4xNAT farm profile enables the creation of an LSLB farm at layer 4, providing significantly higher performance and handling more concurrent connections compared to layer 7 load balancer cores like the HTTP farm profile. This emphasis on layer 4 performance contrasts with the advanced content handling capabilities of the layer 7 farm profile.
Moreover, the L4xNAT farm profile supports binding a range of ports, unlike the layer 7 farm profile which typically binds to a single virtual port.
Go to the L4xNAT settings configuration.
Global Settings for HTTP Farm Profile #
This profile serves as a reverse proxy and manages content switching at the HTTP layer 7 for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols in application delivery.
