Load Balanced
SonicWALL SSL appliances can be installed in front of or behind a load balancer. If the load
balancer is using URL- or cookie-related load balancing, install the appliance in front of the
load balancer. In this configuration, the load balancer receives clear text packets decrypted
by the SSL device.
1
Install the appliance as instructed previously.
2
Connect the "Network" Ethernet interface to the Internet. Connect the "Server"
Ethernet interface to the load balancer.
