IPv6 Support for Server Load Balancing
Overview
NOTE
The Brocade Virtual ADX software release 3.0.00 IPv6 support for SLB applies to IPv6 clients and
IPv6 server communications only.
The commands to configure server load balancing, including configuration of virtual servers, real
servers, VIP groups, health check parameters, and others are the same for IPv6 as they are for
IPv4. The existing commands have been enhanced to accept IPv6 addresses. Other than IPv6
addressing, no new commands are necessary for configuring SLB for IPv6 on the Brocade Virtual
ADX.
The following sections shows the configuration steps for an IPv6 SLB configuration.
1. Defining IPv6 real servers.
2. Defining IPv6 virtual servers.
3. Define port characteristics using port profile.
4. Define IP routes.
5. VLAN and tagging definitions.
6. Miscellaneous.
7. Saving the configuration.
8. IPv6 configuration example
An example configuration is shown in Figure 45 .
Access from the IPv6 client to an IPv6 real server is straight forward and doesn’t require any
special processing from the Brocade Virtual ADX.
