RS 2100 Introduction

SoftwareOverview

SSL persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source IP address and the virtual destination IP/port address. Note that requests from any source socket with the client IP address are considered part of the same session.

Sticky persistence – a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses only. This allows all requests from a client to the same virtual address to be directed to the same load balancing server.

Virtual private network (VPN) persistence – for VPN traffic using Encapsulated Security Payload (ESP) mode of IPSec, a binding is determined by matching the source and destination IP addresses in the secure key transfer request to subsequent client requests.

IP persistence – Used for L3 persistence of load balancing sessions.

2.3.9Management Platforms

You can manage the RS 2100 using the following management platforms:

Command Line Interface (CLI) – An Emacs editor-like interface that accepts typed commands and responds when applicable with messages or tables. Use the CLI to perform the basic setup procedures described in Chapter 4,

"RS 2100 Initial Configuration."

SNMP MIBs and traps – The RS 2100 supports SNMP v1/v2 and many standard networking MIBs.
