Unit Mode Either Master Node or Slave Node.

Master Node is the primary system in the Cluster

[Active-Passive] while Slave Node is standby system in

cluster setup which takes over operations if the master fails.

Unit IP The local IP address of this unit.

Cluster IP The cluster IP when Cluster is setup.

Partner IP The IP address of other node in Cluster

Add VLAN Port

Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) can be described as a tag‐based LAN multiplexing

technology’because through the use of IP header tagging, VLANs can simulate multiple

LAN’s within a single physical LAN. Just as two physically distinct, disconnected LAN’s are

wholly separate from one another, so too are two different VLANs, however the two VLANs

can exist on the very same wire. VLANs require VLAN aware networking devices to offer this

kind of virtualization – switches, routers and firewalls that have the ability to recognize,

process, remove and insert VLAN tags in accordance with the network’s design and security

policies.

VLAN in 802.1Q is supported.

SLB

Server load balancing (SLB) features are designed to give you flexible options to maximizing

performance of your applications.

Overview

The XPoint series of application delivery, load balancing and DDoS protection solutions

accelerate, optimize and secure global applications.

Server Loading Balancer

Complete solution for server load balancing. Monitoring the health status of servers to ensure

high availability by automatically distributing application requests to servers with optimal

performance.

SSL Offloading

SSL offloading takes all the processing of SSL encryption and decryption off the main Web

server and moves it to XPoint AppScaler system which allows the performance of the main

Web server to increase and it handles the SSL certificate efficiently. SSL Offloading is

CPU-intensive, in our hardware models with specialized ASIC chip SSL accelerator you don't

need to worry about the performance.

Single Sign On

Provide credential proxying for the end users to enter their credential once to access their

secured web applications. Upon successful completion of the access policy, the user identity is

saved. The SSO feature can eliminates the need for users to enter their credentials multiple

times.

Content Switching

Provide the advanced content switching to requests sent to the same Web host to different

servers with different content.

Web Application Firewall

Provide protection against a broad range of threats – including known malware signatures,

advanced persistent threats, intrusion attempts, zero-day attacks and more..


Optimized Application Delivery

Provide enhanced application performance through various application optimization

technologies including tcp multiplexing, content compression, built-in cache system and much

more.

Flexible Network Integration

Support inline and one-arm physical deployment mode as either Layer 2 device or packet

forwarder device. It can be deployed in multiple networks like VLAN, VXLAN. Also it

provides full IPv6 support.

GSLB

Global Server load balancing (GSLB) features are designed to distribute internet traffic among

different data-centers located at different locations of the planet.

Overview

The XPoint series of application delivery, load balancing and DDoS protection solutions

accelerate, optimize and secure global applications.

Global Server Loading Balancer

Allows traffic to be distributed in the best way across application servers that are located in

different geographic locations.

Datacenter Failover

It is working as authoritative nameserver for the desired domain, it can:

Redirect client requests to the surviving site when an outage occurs at the primary site

Direct client requests to the site that is geographically closest to them

Redirect clients to another site when traffic or performance thresholds are exceeded at the

primary site.

Optimizes multi-site deployments.

Intelligent Distribution Methods

The built-in GSLB supports comprehensive and advanced distribution methods.

Active-Active or Active-Passive Mode

Round Robin

Static Proximity

Location

Ratio Round Robin

Custom Load

Dynamic Metrics

Health Monitor
