ADCBOSS PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Local Load Balancing Module
Local Load Balancing (LB)
The Local Load Balancing menu contains the elements related to Local Load Balancing feature. These are the Virtual Servers, Pools, Nodes and SSL Certificates which have been fetched from the ADC devices managed by ADCBOSS.
Virtual Servers
A virtual server is a object on ADCBOSS that is represented by an IP address (DNS Name for a AWS Listener) and a service (port). Clients on an external network can send application traffic to a virtual server configured on an ADC device, which then directs the traffic according to your configuration instructions. The main purpose of a virtual server is often to balance traffic load across a pool of servers on an internal network.
In order to see the Virtual Servers being managed by ADCBOSS go to Local Load Balancing→ Virtual Servers a screen similar to the one below will appear:
Pools
A pool is a logical set of devices, such as web servers, that you group together to receive and process traffic. Instead of sending client traffic to the destination IP address specified in the client request, the ADC device sends the request to any of
the servers that are members of that pool.
In order to see the pools being managed by ADCBOSS go to Local Load Balancing→ Pools a screen similar to the one below will appear:
Nodes
A node is a logical object that identifies the IP address of a physical resource on the
network.
In order to see the Nodes being managed by ADCBOSS go to Local Load Balancing→ Nodes a screen similar to the one below will appear:
SSL Certificates
SSL Certificates are small data fles that digitally bind a cryptographic key to an organization’s details. When installed on a ADC device, it activates the https protocol and allows secure connections from a browser to the ADC device.
In order to see the SSL certifcates being managed by ADCBOSS go to Local Load Balancing→ SSL Certifcates a screen similar to the one below will appear:
