| Description |
This article describes how to configure 'set type load-balance' in 'config firewall vip' via GUI. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.2. |
| Solution |
'set type static-nat', 'set type load-balance', 'set type dns-translation', 'set type fqdn', and 'set type access-proxy' in 'config firewall vip' can be configured from Policy & Object -> Virtual IPs in the GUI, but 'set type server-load-balance' is not visible in Policy & Object -> Virtual IPs. 'set type server-load-balance' is visible in Policy & Object -> Virtual Servers.
Example:
FortiGate-01 (test-vip-static-nat) # set type ? static-nat Static NAT. load-balance Load balance. server-load-balance Server load balance. <----- dns-translation DNS translation. fqdn Fully qualified domain name. access-proxy Access proxy.
config firewall vip edit "test-vip-static-nat" set extip 1.1.1.1 set mappedip "2.2.2.2" set extintf "port2" next edit "test-vip-load-balance" set type load-balance set extip 1.1.1.1 set mappedip "2.2.2.2" set extintf "port2" next edit "test-vip-server-load-balance" set type server-load-balance <----- set extip 1.1.1.1 set extintf "port2" set server-type https set extport 443 config realservers edit 1 set ip 2.2.2.2 set port 443 next end set ssl-mode full set ssl-certificate "Fortinet_Factory" next edit "test-vip-dns-translation" set type dns-translation set extip 1.1.1.1 set mappedip "2.2.2.2" set extintf "port2" next edit "test-vip-fqdn" set type fqdn set extip 1.1.1.1 set extintf "port2" set mapped-addr "gmail.com" next edit "test-vip-access-proxy" set type access-proxy set extip 1.1.1.1 set extintf "port2" set server-type https set extport 443 set ssl-certificate "Fortinet_Factory" next end
Go to Policy & Objects -> Virtual Servers.
Go to Policy & Objects -> Virtual IPs.
Note: Virtual Servers are hidden by default. To view them, go to System -> Feature Visibility and select Load Balance.
