2. Enable URL hashing.
Hashing is based on the URL, including the HTTP Host: header (if present), up to a maximum of
255 bytes.
3. Set the metric for the real server group to
minmisses
or
hash
.
HTTP Normalization
Alteon normalizes characters in the HTTP strings that are encoded to real characters and performs
URL path traversal reversals before performing rule matching for HTTP Layer 7 content switching
and HTTP modifications. After matching the content, it is sent back to the real servers in its original
format.
You can enable or disable HTTP normalization via the HTTP Virtual Service menu. For more
information, see the Alteon Application Switch Operating System Command Reference.
Content-Intelligent Application Services
Alteon lets you modify HTTP responses and requests to achieve the following purposes:
•
Sending Original Client IPs to Servers, page 237
•
Controlling Server Response Codes
•
Changing URLs in Server Responses, page 239
•
Enhancing Server Security by Hiding Server Identity, page 241
•
Enhancing Security by Hiding Page Locations, page 241
•
Replacing Free Text in Server Responses, page 243
Sending Original Client IPs to Servers
Alteon can insert the inclusion of the X-Forwarded-For header in client HTTP requests in order to
preserve client IP information. This feature is useful in proxy mode, where the client source IP
information is replaced with the proxy IP address. However, it may also be used for all Layer 4 load
balancing in both proxy and non-proxy mode, if there is a need to include the X-Forwarded-For
header. This feature is supported for Layer 4 and Layer 7.
Note:
To enable X-Forwarded-For, you need to either set delayed binding to full proxy mode and
configure a PIP or enable DAM.
To configure Alteon to insert the X-Forwarded-For header
1. Ensure that Alteon is configured for basic SLB:
—
Assign an IP address to each of the real servers in the server pool.
—
Define an IP interface.
—
Define each real server.
