Command Syntax and Usage | |
---|---|
client disable|enable | |
For Server Load Balancing (SLB), the port can be enabled or disabled to process client Layer 4 traffic. Ports configured to process client request traffic bind servers to clients and provide address translation from the virtual server IP address to the real server IP address, re-mapping virtual server IP addresses and port values to real server IP addresses and ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. Maximizing the number of these ports on the Layer 4 switch improve Alteon’s potential for effective SLB. Default: enable | |
server disable|enable | |
Ports configured to provide real server responses to client requests require real servers to be connected to the Layer 4 switch, directly or through a hub, router, or another switch. When server processing is enabled, the port re-maps real server IP addresses and Layer 4 port values to virtual server IP addresses and Layer 4 ports. Traffic not associated with virtual servers is switched normally. Default: enable | |
rts disable|enable | |
Enables or disables Return to Sender (RTS) load balancing on this port. This option is used for firewall load balancing or VPN load balancing applications. Enable RTS on all client-side ports to ensure that traffic ingresses and egresses through the same port. For more information on using RTS, see the Firewall Load Balancing and VPN Load Balancing chapters in the Alteon Command Line Interface Application Guide. Note: You cannot use RTS in conjunction with redirection filters for the following conditions: ![]() ![]() If you do so, you will receive an error message. Default: disable | |
hotstan disable|enable | |
Specifies whether to enable hot standby processing on the switch port. Standby ports drop data when Alteon is in the backup state. Default: disable Use this option and the intersw option in conjunction with VRRP hot-standby failover. | |
intersw | |
Enables or disables interswitch processing. This option is enabled for VLANs connected to a peer. After enabling interswitching, you are prompted to enter the VLAN number on which the peer resides. Default: disable | |
vlan (1 to 4090) | |
Sets the VLAN for interswitch processing. ValuesL 1 – 4090 | |
proxy disable|enable | |
Enables or disables a proxy for traffic that ingresses this port. When the PIP is defined, client address information in Layer 4 requests is replaced with this proxy IP address. In SLB applications, this forces the response traffic to return through Alteon, rather than around it, as is possible in complex routing environments. Proxies are also useful for application redirection and NAT. When pip is used with application redirection filters, each filter’s rport parameter must also be defined (see rport at /cfg/slb/filt <filter number> SLB Filter Menu). Default: enable | |
filt disable|enable | |
Enables or disables filtering on this port. Enabling the filter sets up the real server to examine VPN session table. Note: After port filtering is enabled or disabled and you apply the change, session entries are deleted immediately. Default: disable | |
add <filter ID (1 to 2048)|block of IDs (first-last)> | |
Adds a filter or a block of filters for use on this port. Values: 1 – 2048, or block of IDs (for example, 1 – 100) | |
rem <filter ID (1 to 2048)|block of IDs (first-last)> | |
Removes a filter or a block of filters from use on this port. Values: 1 – 2048, or block of IDs (for example, 1 – 100) | |
l3filt <disable|enable> | |
Enables or disables Layer 3 filtering. Default: disable | |
idslb <disable|enable> | |
Enables or disables Intrusion Detection System (IDS) SLB on this port. IDSLB is performed at the end of filter processing or at the end of client processing when filtering is not enabled. With client processing, IDSLB is enabled on a port and a real server group is designated for IDSLB. Default: disable | |
symantec <disable|enable> | |
Enables or disables Symantec processing for troubleshooting purposes. | |
monitor <disable|enable> | |
Enables or disables AppWall monitoring. | |
cur | |
Displays the current system parameters. |
