Can you forward ftp / sftp traffic based on server name
Information
| Summary: |
FTP / SFTP traffic will be forwarded based on scheduling method and persistence. Server name has no impact on where the traffic gets forwarded since it is a generic type service. |
| Environment: |
Product: LoadMaster Version: 7.2.48.1 Platform: Hardware (LM-X3) Application: SFTP FTP |
| Question/Problem Description: |
Will the FTP / SFTP virtual service know how to forward traffic to each real server by server name? |
| Steps to Reproduce: | |
| Error Message: | |
| Defect Number: | |
| Enhancement Number: | |
| Cause: | |
| Resolution: | Traffic will only be forwarded by scheduling method. Service type will not be HTTP/HTTPS, so content rules cannot be used to load balance based on server name. |
| Workaround: | Create one virtual service for each unique FTP/SFTP service to guarantee which server traffic will be forwarded to. |
