real server to access a different Virtual server in same context ??

[mengkiat.lim]

Hi all,

I got a scenario need to clarified before go to production. Below is my traffic explaination

SETUP

Context WEB -1st Virtual server (10.10.10.1) - > bind 2 Real Server ( 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2) ->sticky configured

Context WEB - 2nd Virtual server (20.20.20.1) - > bind 2 Real Server (2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2) ->sticky configured

My question is

User will HIT 10.10.10.1 and load balance to RS 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2, RS 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 will need to go destination 20.20.20.1 and ACE load balance to 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2.

Will RS1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 success HIT 20.20.20.1 and ACE can load balace to 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2 and response to RS1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2?

Any comment is welcome !!!

Thank you,

Meng Kiat

Hi Meng,

It is possible. You need to apply the Virtual server (20.20.20.1) policy to the server side Vlan interface.

That way server ( 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2) can hit virtual server (20.20.20.1)

This should work just fine without any trouble.

Ajay Kumar.

You may also need to apply source-nat, to ensure return traffic from the server is not sent directly back to the server accessing the vip.
