ACE Load balancing with different source IP

[sansarav720e]

  Dear All ,

             I am very much new to ACE . We are deploying it on our enterprise infrastructure (10.x.x.x/8) . I have a setup like this, we have 5 Proxy server which is supporting for our enteprise internet needs . Load balancing to this 5 blue coat proxy server is done via ACE module .

  My customer is having special requirement based on specfic source subnet , ACE need to redirect the that specific source subnet to a particular proxy server . Is this possible in ACE ?? or we need to have separate Virtual server group for that specific source subnet range  . kindly correct me if am worng on my understanding .

Thanks

Hi

I guess stsickiness is answer to your problem. Try static source base stickiness and point individual subnet to specific proxy.

Hi Saravanan,

Please refer the following link :

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/vA4_2_0/configuration/slb/guide/sticky.pdf

Look at section :

IP Address Stickiness Configuration Quick Start

For example :

8. (Optional) Configure static IP address sticky entries up to a maximum of

65535 static entries per context.

host1/Admin(config-sticky-ip)# static client source 192.168.12.15

destination 172.16.27.3 rserver SERVER1 2000

The above may fulfill your requirement.
