Figure 10-3 Firewall Load-Balancing Concept
10-2: SLB Firewall Load Balancing
■ Firewall load balancing balances traffic flows to one or more firewall farms.
■ A firewall farm is a group of firewalls that are connected in parallel or that have their
“inside” (protected) and “outside” (unprotected) interfaces connected to common
network segments.
■ Firewall load balancing requires a load-balancing device (IOS SLB) to be connected
to each side of the firewall farm. A firewall farm with “inside” and “outside” inter-
faces would then require two load-balancing devices, each making sure that traffic
flows are directed toward the same firewall for the duration of the connection.
Figure 10-3 illustrates the basic firewall load-balancing concept.
