Chapter 13: Firewall Load Balancing

As shown in
, the network is divided into four sections:
n
Subnet 1 includes all equipment between the exterior routers and dirty-side Web switches.
n
Subnet 2 includes the dirty-side Web switches with their interswitch link, and dirty-side
firewall interfaces.
n
Subnet 3 includes the clean-side firewall interfaces, and clean-side Web switches with
their interswitch link.
n
Subnet 4 includes all equipment between the clean-side Web switches and their servers.
In this network, external traffic arrives through both routers. Since VRRP is enabled, one of
the dirty-side Web switches acts as primary and receives all traffic. The dirty-side primary Web
switch performs FWLB in a fashion similar to basic FWLB: a redirection filter splits traffic
into multiple streams which are routed through the available firewalls to the primary clean-side
Web switch.
Just as with the basic method, four-subnet FWLB uses the
hash
metric to distribute firewall
traffic and maintain persistence, though other load-balancing metrics can be used by configur-
ing an additional Return to Sender (RTS) option (see
“Free-Metric FWLB” on page 346
Four-Subnet FWLB Implementation
In this example, traffic between the redundant Web switches is load balanced among the avail-
able firewalls.

1. VRRP forces incoming traffic to converge on primary dirty-side Web switch
2. Firewall load balancing occurs between primary Web switches
3. Primary clean-side Web switch performs standard SLB
