Solved: Load Balance LNS

yongl · ‎12-15-2003

Hi,

Has anyone configured CSM (Content Switching Module) on Catalyst 6513 to load balance LNS (L2TP Tunnel Server) as described in Figure-6 from http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns341/ns396/ns301/ns242/networking_solutions_white_paper09186a0080108939.shtml ? My Catalyst 6513s are running Native IOS 12.1(11b)E4 and CSMs are running software 2.2(2a). I have tested successfully for telnet service but not for L2TP (UDP 1701).

That should be fine, as long as the vserver is set for UDP and the proper port. That version of CSM code is not very recent. Version 2.2(8) may be better. I would not upgrade unless you hit a specific bug, unless you are just putting this into QA or other test environment. Upgrading is always harder after it goes live.

UDP support started in version 2.1 so you may be fine either way.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have solved this problem by upgrading CSM software to 2.2(6).
