Local Services #
The Local Services section manages load balancer services such as HTTP, web GUI services, SSH for maintenance, clustering replication services, and SNMP monitoring services.
To apply changes in this section, click the Apply button. Use the Revert Changes button to discard modifications and revert to the previously applied configuration.
HTTP Web GUI Service #
This service is used for administrative and operational management purposes. The HTTP service delivers the web GUI.
The physical interface where the GUI service is running. The interface where the GUI service is running, bound to all physical, bonding, and VLAN interfaces configured in the load balancer. Note: Virtual and floating interfaces are not recommended.
HTTPS Port where the GUI service is running. Port used by the web GUI service for administrative and operational purposes. The default port is 444.
Server Certificate. The authentication certificate that shows a user has permission to use RELIANOID appliances.
After pressing the Apply button, you will need to confirm the changes in a popup.
SSH Management Service #
This service is used for maintenance and clustering replication purposes, allowing remote command line access to the load balancer.
The physical interface where the SSH service is running. The interface where the SSH service is running, bound to all NIC, bonding, and VLAN interfaces configured in the load balancer. Virtual and floating interfaces are not recommended.
SSH Port(s) where the SSH is running. The port used by SSH services. The default port is 22.
Press the Apply button to apply changes to the Interface and Port settings. The SSH service will be restarted.
SNMP Monitoring Service #
This service is used for load balance monitoring and integration into a centralized SIEM platform.
Enable SNMP. Enable or disable the SNMP service. It is disabled by default.
Physical interface where the SNMP service is running. The interface where the SNMP service will run.
SNMP Port where is running SNMP service. Port where the SNMP service will listen. The default port is 161.
Community name. The read-only community name to be used. The default is public.
IP or subnet with access (IP/bit). Clients’ subnets or addresses allowed to access the SNMP service. For a single IP address, use the netmask bit /32.
The Apply button will apply all changes to the SNMP service.
For more about SNMP, read our article on Understanding SNMP in a SIEM environment and Monitoring RELIANOID Appliance.
Rsyslog Logging Service #
IP/Hostname. The name of the Rsyslog host.
Port. The port for sending log files.
Protocol. The transmission protocol, either UDP or TCP.
The Apply button will apply all changes to the Rsyslog service.
Global Services #
These services modify a system to adapt any load balancer to the client’s needs.
Enable session replication. Replicates session tables to the backup node if a farm is configured with persistence. This feature is part of the Stateful Cluster. Enabled by default.
Enabled duplicated network. Allows the establishment of the same network twice, which is not supported by the RELIANOID Routing system. Disabled by default.
Enable ARP announce. Executes an ARP announcement to the network for MAC changes. If enabled, an announcement is made each minute. Disabled by default.
Enable WAF assistant. Enables the OWASP Core Ruleset to be loaded as a application firewall interface to protect and monitor the HTTP protocol.
Click the Apply button to apply all changes to the Global Services.
Remote Services #
The Remote Services section manages external services needed by the load balancer, such as DNS for network name resolution, NTP for system clock synchronization, and the Proxy service for using an external proxy for internal services.
To apply changes in this section, click the Apply button. Use the Revert Changes button to discard modifications and revert to the previously applied configuration.
DNS Service #
The Domain Name System service resolves domain names to network addresses. Servers configured for DNS resolution will be stored in the system file /etc/resolve.conf .
Primary Server. The IP address of the primary name server. The default value is 8.8.8.8.
Secondary Server. The IP address of the secondary name server. This value is optional and blank by default.
NTP service #
This service synchronizes the load balancer’s system date and time clock.
NTP Server. The server IP address or domain name for synchronizing the system date and time. The default value is pool.ntp.org.
Proxy Service #
This service allows the load balancer to access the Internet through a remote proxy. Some services, like updates, use this option if configured.
HTTP Proxy. Define the full URL of an HTTP proxy for HTTP requests, e.g., http://myproxy:80 .
HTTPS Proxy. Define the full URL of an HTTPS proxy for HTTPS requests, e.g., http://myproxy:443 .
Let’s Encrypt #
This certificate proves a server’s authenticity and provides secure data transmission through encryption. Read more about Let’s encrypt.
Email. Notification email for Let’s Encrypt service management.
