This section explains additional deployment options. What to read next Additional Deployment Options (Linux Server Cloud)This section gives information on the additional deployment options suggested in Linux server cloud installation guide. IPv6 in Avi Load Balancer for Linux Server CloudThis section discusses enabling and testing IPv6 on Avi Load Balancer in Linux Server Cloud. MAC Masquerade in Linux Server CloudThe Avi Load Balancer supports MAC masquerade for use along with SE IP routing to accelerate legacy HA SE failover in Linux server clouds. Commands Requiring sudo Permission in a Bare-Metal EnvironmentWhen a host is added to Linux cloud, the Avi Load Balancer Controller will spawn an Avi Load Balancer SE container on the host by running a series of commands. All basic and read-only commands can run without “sudo” permission, but some commands require it. Following are the commands which require “sudo” permission. LLDP Support in Bare-Metal DeploymentLLDP is automatically enabled on bare-metal SEs. As illustrated below, the show serviceengine command can be used to confirm so for a bare-metal SE. Performing Server Maintenance on a Bare-Metal HostServer maintenance can be any one of the following: Host-OS upgrade, security patches, kernel updates, and so on. To perform any maintenance on a bare-metal host in an Avi Load Balancer Linux server cloud, the user must perform one or more of the following recommended procedures, as appropriate to the situation. Linux KVM with DPDK Support for virtio-net Data NICStarting with Avi Load Balancer version 22.1.1, installing Linux KVM with DPDK Support for virtio-net data NICs and macvtap interface (in bridge mode) created from the physical interface available on the host, is supported. This macvtap interface is employed as the interface within the guest virtual machine. Parent topic: Installing Avi Load Balancer in Linux Server Cloud
