Load Balancing
The Alcatel switch is also capable of load balancing between multiple
AntiVirusFirewall (AVF) server appliances. This provides more scalability as
well as redundancy by using multiple AntiVirusFirewall (AVF) server
appliances. Also the Alcatel switch can be configured to have multiple groups
of AntiVirusFirewall (AVF) server devices and different kinds of traffic can be
redirected to different groups of devices – with load balancing occurring
within each group. This is depicted in the following sample topology.
