CSM Bridge Mode Vserver Redirect

[metro.gmarsh]

I have a CSM in bridge mode, the MSFC in on the client side.

vlan 28 client

ip address 192.168.29.253 255.255.254.0

gateway 192.168.28.253

!

vlan 173 server

ip address 172.17.3.8 255.255.255.0

alias 172.17.3.5 255.255.255.0

vlan 163 client

ip address 172.17.3.8 255.255.255.0

gateway 172.17.3.1

I want to have a VIP on the 28 vlan and redirect to a VIP on the 163 vlan. I'm not sure how to do that. Plus this is all netbios, so could I do it with a virtual x.x.x.x any

or do I have to specify tcp 137,138,139,445...

any ideas would be great...thanks

how can you redirect netbios traffic ???

We can use HTTP redirect but I don't think this works for Netbios - correct me if I'm wrong.

Therefore, I don't see how you can do a redirect.

Moreover, why would you want to redirect to another vip ?

As long as the traffic is coming to the CSM why don't you simply loadbalance to the end server ????

Thanks,

Gilles.

Ok, well answer me this, how would you load balance ports 139 and 445 in a bridge mode environment with the MSFC on the client side network. I can figure out the redirect piece, or have the company move somethings around to make they're network more scalable...

[Gilles Dufour]

If you want to loadbalance for 139 and 449, simply create to vservers - one for each port.

Or configure only 1 vserver and do not specify the port .

I don't see the problem here.

Please try to clarify exactly what you would like to see.

Gilles.
