Click on +Add Active Monitor and from the dropdown list select the health monitor configured in the previous step - FTP.Under Load Balance select Consistent Hash > Source IP Address.Ĭonsistent Hash with Source IP Address is chosen as the load balancing algorithm to avoid a different server being selected by each SE if a virtual server is scaled out to multiple Service Engines.Enter port number 21 in the Default Server Port field.To configure the pool with required FTP servers, on Avi UI navigate to Applications > Pools and click on Create Pool. The path is optional, and if not specified, the curl will retrieve the root directory listing. If no file exists in the filepath, the health monitor will fail.

Configuring Layer 4 response DataScript for FTP.

Configuring pool with the required FTP servers.To configure Avi Vantage for load balancing passive FTP, follow the steps below: This KB is specific to Non-Native Passive FTP profile or Passive FTP on standard L4 Application profile. For more details, refer to Native FTP Profile guide. Starting with NSX Advanced Load Balancer version 22.1.1, the FTP can be configured using Native FTP profile. A DataScript is used for changing the server IP to a virtual IP configured in the FTP payload in the server response. On using a virtual IP on the load balancer for passive FTP, the server IP has to be changed to the virtual IP on the load balancer so that the client connects to the load balancer instead of connecting to the server directly. The server responds with the server IP address data port that is greater than 1023 to connect to. In passive FTP, the client sends a PASV command to the server on port 21. This article explains configuring Avi virtual service to load balance passive FTP. Load Balancing Passive FTP on Avi Vantage Overview
