Supported Features

Supported features by Distributed Load Balancer (DLB).

IDPS and Anti-malware Prevention

On the Security → IDS/IPS & Anti-malware page, create a distributed firewall rule where destination is DLB pool server members and apply an IDPS security profile in the Detect Only or Detect and Prevent mode. Any traffic destined to the selected DLB pool server group is first processed by IDPS. If IDPS does not detect any malware it redirects traffic to the DLB pool servers.

vMotion

You can perform vMotion to migrate VMs from one host to another without disrupting load balancing performed by DLB. During vMotion of the VM and after migration, DLB continues to load balance traffic without dropping any packets.
