Chapter 14 Load Balancing in the P333R-LB

Full NAT Based Configuration

Note: The following example uses sample IP addresses for illustration only.

Figure 14.9 illustrates a Full NAT based SLB configuration.

Figure 14.9 Full NAT Based SLB Configuration Example

Figure 14.9 illustrates a sample configuration where two clients are connected to a P333R-LB which balances the traffic between three Real Servers. In addition to the traffic path through the P333R-LB, a direct path exists between the Clients and the Real Servers through another router. The P333R-LB is configured with a VIP of 193.170.4.20 and with a PIP bank on subnet 10.3.3.x.

In order to configure the load balancer according to Figure 14.9, perform the following commands:

P333R-LB-1(super)#interface router

Done!

P333R-LB-1(super-if:router)#ip address 193.170.3.1

255.255.255.0

Done!

P333R-LB-1(super-if:router)#exit

P333R-LB-1(super)#interface client

Done!

P333R-LB-1(super-if:client)#ip address 193.170.4.1

One of the main features of the P333R-LB is its Layer 3 switching capability, which allows for efficient routing within an organization's network. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with multiple VLANs, as it simplifies the routing process and ensures that data packets are transmitted in the most efficient manner possible.

The P333R-LB is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize traffic based on the type of application being used. This ensures that critical applications, such as VoIP and video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance. Additionally, it supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, making it adaptable to a variety of networking environments.

Another important feature of the Avaya P333R-LB is its stackable design. This allows multiple switches to be interconnected, creating a single logical unit. This stacking capability not only simplifies management but also increases overall network capacity and redundancy. In case of a hardware failure, the stack can continue operating without interruption, maintaining network integrity and service continuity.

The switch also integrates advanced security features, including support for MAC filtering, access control lists, and port security. These features help to safeguard network resources from unauthorized access and potential threats. Moreover, the P333R-LB supports 802.1X port-based authentication, which adds an additional layer of security during user access to the network.

The Avaya P333R-LB comes with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed connectivity to devices such as servers, workstations, and IP phones. This ensures that all devices on the network can communicate effectively, supporting the demands of modern enterprise environments.

For management and monitoring, the P333R-LB offers a user-friendly web interface along with SNMP support, enabling network administrators to easily configure settings and monitor network performance. This simplicity in management is crucial for IT teams that need to ensure optimal network performance while minimizing downtime.

In summary, the Avaya P333R-LB is a feature-rich, scalable, and reliable switch that meets the needs of demanding enterprise networks. With its advanced technologies, QoS support, stackable design, robust security features, and high-speed connectivity options, the P333R-LB is positioned to support a wide range of applications and enhance overall network performance.
