Implementation Issues • Network architecture • Why do I have to change my IP address to have load balancing? • Server Farm architecture / Resiliency • Big-IP makes my server resilient, right?
Network Architecture Design There are two general types of LTM architecture configurations • Router Architecture • “Big-IP on a stick” or “One-arm bandit” mode Common complaint • “Why do I need to change my IP address to have it load balanced?”
Resiliency via Load Balancing • The LTM can upgrade the resiliency rating of a service from 2 (resilient) or 1 (highly resilient) up to 0 (highly available). • A server farm architecture works best with a load balancer Highly available Not so resilient
