What is Cisco load balancer?

Cisco Load Balancer is IVT Certified for compatibility with Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Cisco customers can install Edgenexus’ load balancer software (as a Virtual Appliance or an ISO image) on either Cisco B-Series or C-Series to improve the performance, scalability and reliability of applications.

Does HSRP allow load balancing?

Only one active and one standby router are allowed per HSRP group. Thus, HSRP provides Layer-3 redundancy, but no inherent load balancing.

What is Cisco Glbp?

Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) protects data traffic from a failed router or circuit, like Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), while allowing packet load sharing between a group of redundant routers.

What is Cisco ACE?

Cisco ACE is a virtualized application delivery controller that enables deployment of network services including server load balancing, content switching, compression, server offloading, and application optimization.

Why would you use Glbp instead of HSRP?

The main difference is that GLBP allows the load balancing of traffic among the master and standby routers while in HSRP (and VRRP) the standby routers do not help handle traffic. With GLBP, the single virtual IP address is associated with one virtual MAC address per GLBP member.

Is a VIP A load balancer?

The load balancer is the VIP and behind the VIP is a series of real servers. The VIP then chooses which RIP to send the traffic to depending on different variables, such as server load and if the real server is up.

How do you make a VIP in F5 load balancer?

Creating a Virtual Server

1. On the F5 home page, click Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Virtual Server List.
2. Click Create.
3. Click the Properties tab.
4. In the General Properties area, enter the following information:
5. Click the Resources tab.
6. In the Default Pool list, select the pool that you have created.
7. Click Finished.

What is ACE load balancer?

What is Cisco Mhsrp?

HSRP provides router redundancy by making one router active and the other one standby, the latter will be used when the active cannot afford traffic forwarding; however, this doesn’t allow optimal utilization of network infrastructure resources.

What is FHRP Cisco?

First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) is a hop redundancy protocol that is designed to provide redundancy to the gateway router within the organization’s network by the use of a virtual IP address and virtual MAC address. To implement FHRP, there should be two or more routers that will be used as a gateway router.

What is difference between HSRP and VRRP?

The primary difference between HSRP versus VRRP would be that HSRP is proprietary to Cisco and can only be used on Cisco devices. VRRP is a standards based protocol and is vendor independent allow some flexibility when choosing network devices.
