Port failover

All,

 

 

I would like to know if the following is possible to do and if it is if anyone can point me to the right direction on how to accomplish it.

 

 

Our dev team is requesting the following for one of their environments:

 

 

One VIP

 

Three pools

 

 

Pool 1

 

IP1:14000

 

IP1:14001

 

 

Pool 2

 

IP1:15000

 

IP1:15001

 

 

Pool 3

 

IP1:16000

 

IP1:16001

 

 

Requests on port 14000 (15000 and 16000 also) have to be load balanced between 14000 and 140001 and if port 14000 becomes unavailable connections connecting to port 14000 need to be failed over to port 14001.

 

 

I know the description is pretty terrible so let me know if you need any more info.

 

 

Thanks.

    Question:

     

    Expected traffic flow is as follows?

     

     

    VIP:14000 --> serverIP1:14000, serverIP1:14001

     

    VIP:15000 --> serverIP1:15000, serverIP1:15001

     

    VIP:16000 --> serverIP1:16000, serverIP1:16001

     

     

    I think that's what you're trying to accomplish. With serverIP:14000, 15000, 16000 serving the requests, respectively unless they go down (fail health check). And then it fails over to serverIP:14001, 15001, 16001?

     

     

     

    If I'm understanding correctly, create 3 virtual servers as above. Use Priority Activation for Pool Members.
