Re: NLB IIS



Thanks Chuck I couldnt find the reason as to why this is always
important to have them in separate subnets. Also what I want to
accomplish is to have 3 IIS sites on both Front end servers to assign
SSL certs to them because our exchange organization serves 3 domains
but for some reason IIS seems to be taking all the IP's on port 80 and
even if I run the httpcfg set iplisten command do specify the IP's to
listen on it does not work when accessing a site.

Probably need to change our terminology here...in NLB, unlike failover
clustering, there is no dedicated 'heartbeat' NIC...it is, if anything, a
'Management NIC'

Always separate your Heartbeat and Public interface subnets - i.e. -
different subnets.

Hello,

I setup NLB with 2 servers and 2 NICS on each server. The NIC's are
configured as follow:

Server 1


Internal NIC (Heartbeat)
IP 10.217.216.15
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.217.216.1


Server 2
Internal NIC (Heartbeat)
IP 10.217.216.16
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.217.216.1

NLB IP NIC

Server 1

Internal NIC (NLB NIC)
IP 10.217.216.18
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.217.216.1

Server 2

Internal NIC (Heartbeat)
IP 10.217.216.19
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 10.217.216.1

The NLB IP is 10.217.216.17

Now as you can see both NIC's the NLB and the management NICs are on
the same subnet and both have default gateways. Now the NLB is working
but it seems that only one server is holding on the load. Please help I
dont know if these NICs need to be on different subnets and if they
both need default gateways.
