Load balancing TCP and UDP sessions with fragmented packets

Load balancing TCP and UDP sessions with fragmented packets

FortiGate-6000 and 7000 for FortiOS 6.2.3 supports load balancing TCP and UDP sessions with fragmented packets.

Previous versions supported load balancing ICMP sessions with fragmented packets by enabling the dp-fragment-session load balancing setting. FortiOS 6.2.3 adds the new sw-load-distribution-method option that you can configure to support load balancing TCP and UDP sessions with fragmented packets.

To load balance TCP, UDP, and ICMP sessions with fragmented packets, use the following configuration:

config load-balance setting

set dp-fragment-session enable

set sw-load-distribution-method src-dst-ip

end
