Network Load Balance on Windows 2003

Step by Step for NLB

To create a NLB, below are some steps that can be followed (especially in the OS Windows 2003):

1. Prepare the servers will be used to NLB, including setting Directory

2. Copy the entire Web site will be made to the server NLB (exactly the same as the first website: can use the IIS Migration Tool to transfer from the IIS config, Install components used, the ODBC settings, etc.)

3. First testing each of the NLB servers results (can be made with the Public IP to control new first)

4. If every server that is used for NLB is running according to the origin, the next step is to create a NLB.

5. To create a NLB, NLB can select the menu in the OS menu

7. Create a public IP that will be used as the front door as the NLB Home (Virtual)

8. If step No. 7 was successful, then create a cluster from any other server.

9. From the menu select the menu add NLB cluster, and enter the external IP of the server that created NLB servers

10. so on until all the servers in NLB successfully add the main server.
