Hello,

(first of all, i am not native english speaker, so forgive me my
language please :)

I have just bought used Alteon 180. And it seems there is a small
problem with it.
I have small network with 2 different ISP Wan`s and would like to use
Alteon to redirect port 80 and 443 of outgoing trafiic to Wan2 (which
is asymetric), and the rest of traffic should go to Wan1.
Unfortunately my Alteon 180 has not enabled the load balancing
capabilities... I need some "keys", to ulock it. Do anybody knows
where could i have take it from ? or even buy them ?
The same goes to the WebOS... My Alteon is running version 8.0.49, do
anybody has the last one WebOS usable on Alteon 180 (which i suppose
is 8.0.6x) ?

I would be very gratefull for any help - especially concernig these
keys. I hope somebody will understand all :)

pozdrawiam,
KUBA

For outbound load balance, you can use filters to redirect traffic to
whatever link you want. It doesn't require license. The latest version
WebOS can be found on Nortel website for 180 is 8.0.6.4.2.

hmmm... I am (almost :) sure, that when i tried there were info that
it requires load balance key enabled... I will try once more...
anyway, i am not good in elglish, so i didt want to explain all at
once, but i need these keys... i am preparing for the third WAN, and i
will need load balancing features then :(
so, does anybody know how can i aquire these LB keys ?

It is and it is not... I have no access to nortel site and there is no
way to get there without --supported-- nortel switch... alteon 180 was
discontinued in manufacturirng and then with supporting :(
so, any other ideas ?

pozdrawiam,
Kuba

local load balancing does not require the keys
only Global, and unless you are going to have two devices in two
different locations sharing load or for fail over where you would have
two different ISP connections then GBLB would not be enabled.

filters are not for load balancing... it is as i call it "flat
balancing"... of course i need to redirect some outgoing traffic to
other ISP than default, but in the nearby future i will need also to
use two "default" ISP... so i redirect 80 and 443 port traffic to
ISP3, and load balance the main traffic between ISP1 and ISP2.

I believe it is so in AD3 switch, but in Alteon 180 there is NO
LOADBALANCING without keys !! Anytime when i go to SLB menu there is
wiritten: "Load Balancing not activated, buy keys" or something like
that. The same goes for GSLB. Really really really.
