Load Balancing & Networking
Dual VLAN/Network with 2 Gateways
Imagine a scenario very similar to the one described in Dual VLAN/Network, but the internal
network is also able to route to the Internet:
As far as Equalizer is concerned, the configuration doesn't have to change at all from the previous
scenario. There is still a single destination network (the Internet), and Equalizer is statically
configured to use the 10.0.0.0 network to communicate with this destination network.
The administrator can set up the servers on the 192.168.211.0 network to use their router when
sending packets to the Internet, and to use Equalizer whenever sending packets to clients.
However, in order to do this on a server, the administrator would need to statically define which
portions of the Internet should use which gateway (the router or the Equalizer). This can be
configured very simply on Equalizer, instead:
eqcli > vlan internal subnet net default_route 192.168.211.2
eqcli: 12000287: Operation successful
This command adds a default route for the internal network that is different than the external
default route. This means that any traffic coming from the internal network will be source routed
through the 192.168.211.2 gateway, while any other traffic will still be routed through the
10.0.0.254 gateway as configured for the external network.
