WebOS 10.0 Application Guide
22 Preface 212777-A, February 2002
nChapter 5, “Secure Switch Management,” describes how to manage the switch using spe-
cific IP addresses, RADIUS authentication, Secure Shell (SSH), and Secure Copy (SCP).
Part 2: Web Switching Fundamentals
nChapter 6, “Server Load Balancing,” describes how to configure the Web switch to bal-
ance network traffic among a pool of available servers for more efficient, robust, and scal-
able network services.
nChapter 7, “Filtering,” describes how to configure and optimize network traffic filters for
security and Network Address Translation purposes.
nChapter 8, “Application Redirection,” describes how to use filters for redirecting traffic to
such network streamlining devices as Web caches.
nChapter 9, “Virtual Matrix Architecture,” describes how to optimize system resources by
distributing the workload to multiple processors.
nChapter 10, “Health Checking,” describes how to configure the Web switch to recognize
the availability of the various network resources used with the various load-balancing and
application redirection features.
nChapter 11, “High Availability,” describes how to use the Virtual Router Redundancy Pro-
tocol (VRRP) to ensure that network resources remain available if one Web switch fails.
Part 3: Advanced Web Switching
nChapter 12, “Global Server Load Balancing,” describes configuring Server Load Balanc-
ing across multiple geographic sites.
nChapter 13, “Firewall Load Balancing,” describes how to combine features to provide a
scalable solution for load balancing multiple firewalls.
nChapter 14, “Virtual Private Network Load Balancing,” describes using your Web switch
to load balance secure point-to-point links.
nChapter 15, “Content Intelligent Switching,” describes how to perform load balancing and
application redirection based on Layer 7 packet content information (such as URL, HTTP
Header, browser type, and cookies).
nChapter 16, “Persistence,” describes how to ensure that all connections from a specific cli-
ent session reach the same server. Persistence can be based on cookies or SSL session ID.
nChapter 17, “Bandwidth Management,” describes how to configure the Web switch for
allocating specific portions of the available bandwidth for specific users or applications.
