ASA 5510/5505 SLB Configuration

[pwynne2009]

Hi All,

Just wondering if its possible to configure Server load balancing via a Virtual IP on Cisco Firewalls? If so my plan is to use a NAT'd VIP with 3 Windows Servers in a pool with the same configuration. I would like to a Weighted Least Connection metric for the pool

Anybody done this before?

Rgds,

Paul.

Unfortunately SLB is not supported on ASA firewalls.

Thanks for getting back to me. Is there another way of getting the asa to offer some load balancing???

Unfortunately ASA can't be configured as a SLB device as it is a firewall, and it doesn't have any load balancing capability. Even on the ASA itself as a platfrom, it does not offer load balancing capability with 2 ASA in failover mode.
