Balancer: A network device or logic that distributes inbound connections with a common source address
across a farm of server machines.
Farm Side: The Load Master network interface to which the server farm is connected.
Flat-based: The VIPs and the real servers are on the same subnet.
HA: Highly Available or High Availability (used interchangeably)
ICMP: Internet Control Message Protocol
MIB: Management Information Base, a database of object definitions. The definition specifies whether an
SNMP manager can monitor the object.
NAT: Network Address Translation
NAT-based: The VIPs and the real servers are on different subnets.
Network Side: The Load Master network interface over which requests to the server farm are made.
One-armed: Only one Ethernet interface is used for in and outbound traffic. Farm side and Network side are
both connected to it.
RS: Real Server: Physical server machines which make up a server farm.
Service: A Service is an application that is connected to the network.
Shared IP: The shared (floating) IP address is always the assigned IP address of the active Load Master in a
HA solution.
SCP: Secure copy command of SSH
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol, a network protocol used to manage TCP/IP networks. This
protocol provides functions that enable you to access the data object whose definitions are located in the MIB.
S-NAT: Network Address Translation for a source IP address.
SSH: Secure Shell Protocol
Two-armed: Two Ethernet interfaces are used for in and outbound traffic, one connected to the network side
and one to the farm side.
UTC: Universal Time Coordinated
VIP: Virtual IP Address: The IP address of a service defined on the Load Master.
VS: Virtual Service: An entry on the Load Master over which a service being hosted in the server farm can be
reached.
