Reading Time: 4 minutes As written in the previous post, the management web interface is build around at the load balancer features. But most terms and concepts are the same of other solutions and at least we have: Virtual Services (VS): a virtual IP or VIP (or a pair of IP and port) for a specific virtual service that will me managed by the load balancer Real Servers (RS): the servers (physical or virtual) that hosts the services Forwarding methods: how packets are delivered to the real servers. VLM support NAT or Direct Server Route (DSR) al L4 and […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes As written in the previous post, there are two vNIC in the VLM appliance, because there are two different scenarios of network topologies (well described in the LoadMaster Installation & Configuration Guide at pages 12-13): one-armed (similar to a bastion host firewall configuration) or two-armed (similar to a firewall dual-homed). Looking at those configurations, and comparing with Linux Virtual Server, seems that the forward methods (Direct Server Return and NAT) are bounded with the network topology. But for VLM there is no correlation and you can use the preferred forward methods (although DRS remain the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes KEMP Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) is available in three format: one for Microsoft Hyper-V (just a zip with all the required files) and two for VMware (one for vSphere and one for Workstation format). All are quite small (less than 40MB), so really fast to download and deploy. I have tried the the vSphere version that is just a compressed file with a folder including an OFV and a VMDK file. Really simple to deploy as most of the virtual appliances (maybe a single file could be more simple). The Step 1 is get the software […]
