Info abt load balancers!!

[vishamr2000]

Hi to all,

I wanted to know if there are any load balancers that support the following:

1) Layer 2 load balancing (i.e MAC-based LB)

2) MAC ACLs for filtering Layer 2 traffic.

3) Plain Round-robin Load balancing (not the hash-based load balancing, a.k.a stateless LB)

I know there are switches that support MAC ACLs but what abt load balancers?

Warm regards,

The 3560 switches support

dst-ip

Load distribution is based on the destination host IP address.

dst-mac

Load distribution is based on the destination host MAC address. Packets to the same destination are sent on the same port, but packets to different destinations are sent on different ports in the channel.

src-dst-ip

Load distribution is based on the source and destination host IP address.

src-dst-mac

Load distribution is based on the source and destination host MAC address.

src-ip

Load distribution is based on the source host IP address.

src-mac

Load distribution is based on the source MAC address. Packets from different hosts use different ports in the channel, but packets from the same host use the same port.
