To simplify VLAN administration, the IA 1100/1200 supports 802.1q trunk ports, which allow you to use a single port to “trunk” traffic from multiple VLANs to another IA 1100/1200 or switch which supports 802.1q. IP Routing The IA 1100/1200 provides high-speed routing for the Internet Protocol (IP), which is the protocol switching and routing devices use for moving traffic within the Internet and within many corporate intranets.

  • Page 24: Layer-4 Switching

    Chapter 1: Features Overview By default, the IA 1100/1200 uses one MAC address for all interfaces. The IA 1100/1200 can be configured to have a separate MAC address for each IP interface. When the IA 1100/1200 receives a packet whose destination MAC address is one of the IA 1100/1200’s IP interface MAC addresses, the port that received the packet from the network uses information in the module’s L3 lookup tables (or information supplied by the motherboard) to route the packet to its IP destination(s).

  • Page 41: Setting Up Snmp Community Strings

    Setting Up SNMP Community Strings To use SNMP to manage the IA 1100/1200, you need to set up an SNMP community on the IA 1100/1200. Otherwise, the IA 1100/1200’s SNMP agent runs in local trap process mode until you disable it using the snmp stop command. In addition, if you want to be able to access the SNMP traps issued by the IA 1100/1200’s SNMP agent, you need to specify the IP address of the target for the SNMP traps.

    This chapter describes the basic steps for configuring the IA 1100/1200 for the following features: • Load balancing • Web caching • IP policy-based routing Configuration of the IA 1100/1200 is performed by entering CLI commands in Configure mode from either the system console or a Telnet session. Refer to Chapter 3, “Basic System Setup”...

  • Page 52: Port Names On The Ia 1100/1200

    Chapter 4: Configuration Port Names on the IA 1100/1200 The term port refers to a physical connector installed in the IA 1100/1200. Each port in the IA is referred to by the type of connector (Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet) and its location. Figure 6 shows the names of the ports on the IA 1100.

  • Page 53: Configuring Load Balancing

    Configuring Load Balancing Load balancing allows incoming HTTP requests to a company’s website to be distributed across several physical servers. If one server should fail, other servers can pick up the workload. This section shows an example of how to configure load balancing on the IA. The following example shows two physical servers (with IP addresses 10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.3) that are mapped to a virtual IP address 207.135.89.16 and virtual port number 80.

    Chapter 4: Configuration Specify interfaces to the VLANs you just created and assign address-netmask values to each interface. The following commands create the interface ‘if-internal’ with the address-netmask 10.1.1.1/24 for the vlan ‘internal’ and the interface ‘if-external’ with the address- netmask 207.135.89.1/24 for the vlan ‘external’: ia(config)# interface create ip if-internal address-netmask 10.1.1.1/24 vlan internal up...
  • Page 55 You can also have the IA verify the content of an application on one or more load balancing servers. For this type of verification, you specify the following: • A string that the IA sends to a single server or to the group of load balancing servers. The string can be a simple command to get a specific HTTP page.

  • Page 57 The following commands create the interfaces ‘std-ras’ (for “standard” customers) on port et. 2.1 and ‘prem-ras’ (for “premium” customers) on port et. 2.2 and assigns them the address-netmask values of 207.86.13.1/24 and 207.86.12.1/24, respectively: ia(config)# interface create ip std-ras address-netmask 207.86.13.1/24 port et. ia(config)# interface create ip prem-ras address-netmask 207.86.12.1/24 port et.2.2 Define an ACL profile that specifies the criteria that IP packets must meet to be...

  • Page 58: Configuring Web Caching

    Chapter 4: Configuration Configuring Web Caching Web caching allows HTTP requests from connected users to Internet sites to be redirected to cached Web objects on local servers. Response time is faster since requests can be handled locally and overall WAN bandwidth usage is reduced. The IA itself does not act as a cache for web objects.
  • Page 59 The following command creates the interface ‘if-internal’ with the address-netmask 207.86.11.1/24 for the vlan ‘twcr’ : ia(config)# interface create ip if-internal address-netmask 207.86.11.1/24 vlan twcr up Note: In the above command, the ‘up’ option enables the interface. Create the cache group (a list of local servers to cache Web objects) that will be applied to each interface.
