load balancing on nac

[Justsomebodi]

Hi guys

i have enable nac load balancing. I am unsure how to check itis working. what i have done is added the address of the NAC appliances to the external load balancer config of the nac group . according to the docs, i am suppose to get a VIP. Where am i suppose to see this. also if i do a show radius, the two NAC appliances are set as 1and 2 and not random. Arethe applainces not suppose to have the switches and end devices on them?

thanks

Hi,

I am not really sure what setup you are using. As far as I know you configure a load balancer to provide a virtual IP (VIP) address, and then balance requests sent to that VIP across several NAC appliances.

If you are using S-Series switches you can use LSNAT, see e.g. How To Configure LSNAT to Load Balance to Multiple NAC on S-Series, S-Series and LSNAT are not Load Balancing, What kind of persistence do I need to implement on a load balancer for the NAC to be load balanced?, and Server Load Balancing (SLB) and Load Sharing Network Address Translation (LSNAT) Are Not Working for additional info.

You would then configure only the VIP of the load balancer as RADIUS server on the switches.

Thanks,
Erik
