Note

This object is visible and configurable only for SBC SWe Cloud.

Note

Beginning in release 8.0, Load Balancing Service configuration applies only to media SBC (M-SBC) clusters in distributed SBC SWe Cloud deployments. The M-SBC load balancing distributes media requests among nodes. Load balancing of REGISTER or INVITE requests through retargeting is no longer supported.

The SBC SWe Cloud supports configuring a Load Balancing Service (LBS) to distribute cluster information between D-SBC instances. 

To configure an LBS on a PKT port (any IP Interface other than MGMT), set "clusterAdmin clusterComm type ip" before the LBS configuration on an M-SBC. Refer to Intra-Cluster VNFC Communication Using Packet Ports.

Configuring Load Balance Service

On the navigation pane:

  1. click All > System > Load Balancing Service.

    Load Balancing Service - M-SBC

  2. Use the table to edit the configurations and click Save.
