SLB Peer Proxy IP Address Menu
Displays the Peer Proxy IP Address menu. When this command is enabled, an Alteon forwards traffic from a peer Alteon using Layer 2, without performing server processing on the packets of that peer Alteon. This happens because the peers are aware of each other’s proxy IP address. This prevents the dropping of a packet, or the packet being sent to the backup Alteon in the absence of the proxy IP address of the peer.
Peer traffic forwarding is relevant only for Active-Active scenarios where both the primary and backup Alteon can process traffic. If there are server responses to a proxy IP address corresponding to another switch, the current Alteon forwards traffic to this other switch by performing peer proxy IP address lookup (otherwise these packets would be dropped in server processing).
The IP address to be added is the proxy IP address hosted on the peer switch.
