Load Balance UDP traffic using ACE

[sgjr82841]

Hello Guys,

Customer is looking to load balance Dot1x traffic going to many Cisco ACS servers. Concern is ACS server do not maintain any states so need to make sure that all the requests from a particular ip going to multple ports(1812 and 1813) are going to same ACS server. I know how this can be acheived using Cisco IOS server load balancing but not sure if Cisco ACE can dothe same as customer is exploring the option of using ACE to load balance the traffic.

Thanks!!

Just an idea :

set up two virtual servers (UDP port 1812 / 1813) with a reference to the same sticky group based on source ip persistance. Then configure a short timeout (5 minute).
