Server Load Balancing Overview

Server Load Balancing Example

In the figure on the following page, an SLB cluster consisting of four (4) physical servers has been
configured with a VIP of 128.241.130.204 and an SLB cluster name of "WorldWideWeb." The switch
processes requests sent by clients to the VIP of 128.241.130.204 and sends to the appropriate physical
server, depending on configuration and the operational states of the physical servers. The switch then
transmits the requested data from the physical server back to the client.
