Complete the Configuration of the Primary Dirty-Side Web Switch
1.
Create an FWLB real server group on the primary dirty-side Web switch.
A real server group is used as the target for the FWLB redirection filter. Each IP address that is
assigned to the group represents a path through a different firewall. In this case, since two fire-
walls are used, two addresses are added to the group.
Earlier, it was stated that this example uses IF 2 on all Web switches whenever routing through
the top firewall, and IF 3 on all Web switches whenever routing through the lower firewall.
Therefore, the first address will represent the primary clean-side IF 2, and the second repre-
sents the primary clean-side IF 3.

Using the hash metric, all traffic between specific IP source/destination address pairs flows
through the same firewall, ensuring that sessions established by the firewalls are maintained
for their duration (persistence).
