LTM One-Arm - inline - 2 Arm
I have worked with several different vendors in terms of load balancer's and each seem to have different terminology. Can someone please point me to an F5 document that defines what each of the configurations I have listed above are ...
I would like to understand exactly what this means when referring to the LTM. There seems to be variations even within these categories...
Thanks
Andy
- The_BhattmanNimbostratusHi Andy,
- andy_12_5042Nimbostratusgreat thanks. I think the issue is I was trying to use "generic" terms in my search of ask f5 which don't match the terminology that F5 uses to define a specific design type.
- andy_12_5042Nimbostratusso let me ask this question to make sure I interpret something correct. I have a design where the LTM has private backend vlans (self-ips) that the different pool members belong to. There is also a public vlan(self_ip) which the Virtual server ips are placed in. I am using SNAT to allow self originating requests back to the internet from a given pool member.
- nitassEmployeeEach node used the F5 self ip as a default gateway. What would you refer to this type of design as?
- L4L7_53191NimbostratusAndy: Here's the way I think about it.
To me terms like two-armed etc. are more confusing than they are worth because it's common to have several or many VLANS involved in a BigIP deployment. So it helps me to think in terms of service flow and ask questions like above to help figure out what those flows will do in a particular scenario.
