F5 GTM load balancing IPSEC traffic.

Hi Guys,   Can a F5 GTM load balance handle ipsec traffic. The GTM is placed between a tunnel (Windows 2008 and Checkpoint Cluster).

Hi Cory,

 

Sorry for a delay in response, please find the exact question below.

 

To load balance IPsec VPN tunnels, it’s a site to site tunnel between windows 2008 and checkpoint firewall. We need to load balance between 4 checkpoint firewalls.

 

  1. Which appliance will be used LTM or GTM.
  2. What will be the tunnel destination for the Site to Site tunnel initiated by Windows 2008.
  3. How would the BIG IP appliance load balance between the checkpoint firewalls.

Appreciate your support buddy !!

 

Cheers
