You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains one Client Access server. The Client Access
server is accessible from the Internet by using a network address translation (NAT) device.
You deploy an additional Client Access server.
You also deploy an L4 hardware load balancer between the Client Access servers and the NAT device.
After deploying the hardware load balancer, you discover that all of the Exchange Server traffic is directed to asingle Client Access server.
You need to ensure that the hardware load balancer distributes traffic evenly across both Client Access
servers.
What should you do?
A.
Change the default route of the Client Access servers to point to the hardware load balancer.
B.
Configure the NAT device to pass the original source IP address of all connections from the Internet.
C.
Configure the Client Access servers to have a second IP address and web site. Create the Exchange virtual
directories in the new sites.
D.
Configure SSL offloading on the hardware load balancer and the Client Access servers.
Explanation:
When using source NAT, the client IP address is not passed to the load balanced server. The insertion of the
Client IP address into the header allows the exchange servers to see the IP that made the connection.
Level 4 Load Balancer:
A load balancer is a server computer with a very specialized operating system tuned to manage network traffic
using user-created rules. Enterprises and hosting companies rely on load-balancing devices to distribute traffic
to create highly available services
L4 load balancing is fairly simple, two servers sharing the same IP address. You get redirected to the less-busy
server.
The most popular Layer 4 load balancing techniques are:
round-robin
weighted round-robin
least connections
weighted least connections
