Before an organization administrator can configure load balancing services, a system administrator must enable the load balancer on the NSX edge gateway.
Starting with version 10.4.1, VMware Cloud Director supports transparent load balancing. Transparent mode indicates whether the source IP address of the client in incoming packets is visible to the backend servers.
Prerequisites
-
Verify that you are a system administrator.
- Verify that you integrated VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer in your cloud infrastructure. For more information on managing NSX Advanced Load Balancer, see VMware Cloud Director Service Provider Admin Guide.
- If you want to use an IPv6 service network to configure IPv6 virtual IP addresses for virtual services and IPv6 load balancer pool members, verify that you configured DHCPv6 with SLAAC enabled on the NSX edge gateway.
