Local Service Load Balancing (LSLB)

The LSLB module balances traffic across pools of servers located within a data center. It supports a variety of protocols, including HTTP, TCP, UDP, SCTP, SIP, FTP, TFTP, PPTP, and SNMP. The LSLB module improves traffic performance, reliability, and scalability.

Actions
Use the following buttons to create and manage your farms:

• Create Farm: Create a new farm that balances traffic across a pool of servers. You can choose from three different profiles: HTTP, HTTPS, and L4xNAT.
• Restart: Restart the selected farm. This can be useful if the farm is experiencing problems.
• Start: Start the selected farm. This will allow the farm to start balancing traffic again.
• Stop: Stop the selected farm. This will prevent the farm from balancing traffic.
• Delete: Delete the selected farm. This will remove the farm from the system and all of its configuration data.

Important Notice!
To select multiple farms, check the boxes next to their names.
