I'm working with some Foundry switches that also do load balancing. In order to use the failover features and still keep the original source IP I have to add a loopback adapter for the virutal IP of the load balanced pool.
Pretend the VIP is 192.168.100.200. I need to add a loopback adapter for 192.168.100.200. I've been doing this from the command line: ifconfig lo:0 192.168.100.200 netmask 255.255.255.224 up I've already got an ip in this network on eth0, 192.168.100. 210. The second I activate the lo:0 address, none of the other servers on this subnet can access the server using the eth0 address. Once I take the lo:0 interface down, everything works fine. I did a tcpdump of eth0 and it's getting traffic to it, but it doesn't seem to return anything correctly. But if I come from outside the switch, the address is working and responses are generated accordingly. Any ideas? Thanks.
