You are configuring a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. You have installed the Network Load Balancing feature on the CorpNLB1 and CorpNLB2 servers. You are currently working at CorpNLB1 server console.
In this lab, your task is to create an NLB cluster using the CorpNLB1 and CorpNLB2 servers and define port rules to customize how the servers respond. You can configure both cluster hosts from CorpNLB1.
Create a new cluster using the following parameters:
Cluster host: CorpNLB1
Interface name: Corp
Priority (host identifier): 1
Cluster IP address: 192.168.10.25/24
Full Internet name: CorpNLB.CorpNet.com
Cluster operation mode: unicast
Edit or create the following port rules:
Ports Protocols Filtering mode Client affinity
0 to 1023 Both Multiple host None
6066 Both Multiple host None
32187 Both Single host N/A
49152 to 65535 Both Disable this port range N/A
Add CorpNLB2 as a cluster host using the following parameters:
Cluster host: CorpNLB2
Interface name: Corp
Priority (host identifier): 2
Edit CorpNLB2 ports using the following parameters:
For port 6066, configure a load weight of 100.
For port 32187, configure a handling priority of 2.
For CorpNLB1, edit the port rule for port 6066 with a load weight of 0.
On CorpDC3, use the DNS console to create an A record using the following parameters:
Zone: CorpNet.com
Host name: CorpNLB
IP address: 192.168.10.25
