Uplink Monitoring and Load Balancing

ArubaOS 8.5.0.0 and later versions do not support the uplink load balancing feature.

Wi-Fi Uplink

Starting from ArubaOS 8.5.0.0, Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink is introduced to provide connectivity of AP to an external wireless network. The 3G Third Generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology. See W-CDMA./4G Fourth Generation of Wireless Mobile Telecommunications Technology. See LTE. cellular uplink and the Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink can be used to extend the connectivity to places where a wired uplink cannot be configured.

Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands. Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink allows an AP running ArubaOS to connect to an external wireless network or a managed device by using a third-party AP, such as a Mi-Fi device or a smart phone running a hotspot Hotspot refers to a WLAN node that provides Internet connection and virtual private network (VPN) access from a given location. A business traveler, for example, with a laptop equipped for Wi-Fi can look up a local hotspot, contact it, and get connected through its network to reach the Internet.. This requires the Aruba AP running ArubaOS to work as a standard Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to connect to a WLAN network, mainly using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio bands.

Wi-Fi can apply to products that use any 802.11 standard. uplink client parameters. After the AP reboots, it works as a standard client with the provisioned client parameters and connects with a Mi-Fi device or another AP to reach the managed device. The provisioned AP acts as both client and AP when it receives configurations from the managed device, which allows other wireless and wired clients to connect to the Aruba AP.

Uplink Load Balancing

WAN Wide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance. traffic can be balanced across two or more active uplinks from a managed device to a VPN Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. concentrator. The uplink load balancing feature supports both active and standby uplinks, so the traffic load is balanced across two wired uplinks, while the backup cellular uplink remains idle.

When a managed device has multiple active uplinks, uplink load balancing can modify the IKE Internet Key Exchange. IKE is a key management protocol used with IPsec protocol to establish a secure communication channel. IKE provides additional feature, flexibility, and ease of configuration for IPsec standard. parameters for the managed device to create multiple managed device/VPN Virtual Private Network.

Load Balancing ACLs

When uplink load balancing is enabled, any Layer-3 traffic session that is not associated to a manually defined routing ACL Access Control List.

Load Balancing Nexthop Lists

The uplink load balancing feature uses three special internally created nexthop lists:

Load-balance-gateways is used for load-balancing internet-bound traffic, and load-balance-ipsecs for managing encrypted traffic headed to the corporate headquarters. These nexthop lists include information about one nexthop gateway Gateway is a network node that allows traffic to flow in and out of the network. and one managed device / VPN Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. concentrator IPsec Internet Protocol security. IPsec is a protocol suite for secure IP communications that authenticates and encrypts each IP packet in a communication session. tunnel for each uplink, which are added to these lists so all nexthops are considered active and are available for routing.

The third nexthop list created by this feature is traditional-ipsecs, which is created by the load balancing feature, and used by uplinks in active-standby mode to send control plane traffic from the managed device to the VPN Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network.

  4. Select one of the following options from Loadbalancing Mode drop-down list.
    • Hash based: Hash-based load balancing uses information from the packets being sent (for example, the source IP address, destination IP address, protocol and port numbers to determine how to load balance that traffic).
    • Round Robin: Traffic is equally distributed to all the active uplinks.
    • Session Count: Traffic is balanced between the uplinks based upon the number of sessions managed by each link, so that the load for each active uplink stays within 5% of the other active uplinks.
  5. Click + in the Uplink VLANs table and enter the following values to define a uplink VLAN Virtual Local Area Network. In computer networking, a single Layer 2 network may be partitioned to create multiple distinct broadcast domains, which are mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them through one or more routers; such a domain is referred to as a Virtual Local Area Network, Virtual LAN, or VLAN. for an uplink interface on the managed device.
