Here you will find some load balancer policies predefined by LCOS that can be used under 2.8.10.2.16 LB-Policy or 2.70.5.2.12 LB-Policy.
As of LCOS 10.80 RU5, the DEFAULT and MOST-USED policies have been added.
- SNMP ID:
- 2.8.20.4
- Console path:
- Setup > IP-Router > Load-Balancer
- Possible values:
- DEFAULT
- This load balancer policy always has the same effect as not specifying a policy or leaving the LB-Policy column empty. In the firewall and in the command line ping, it triggers a fallback to the policy from table 2.8.20.2.13 LB-Policy. In table 2.8.20.2.13 LB-Policy, it triggers a fallback to the TRAFFIC selector.
- TRAFFIC
- BANDWIDTH
- ROUND-ROBIN
- MOST-USED
- With this policy, the load balancer selects the channel that currently has the most firewall sessions (regardless of whether in the send or receive direction and regardless of whether IPv4 or IPv6). This policy only makes sense as a counterpart to Dynamic Path Selection, i.e. if a branch device on the load balancer uses Dynamic Path Selection, then the head office should use MOST-USED on its associated load balancer. This effectively means that the head office adapts to the Dynamic Path Selection decisions of the branch office without the branch office having to explicitly communicate its decision to the head office.
