Hi, Can somebody please explain to me exactly how this works. I am having an argument with my superior. He is insistent on setting the monitor IP addresses in my load balancer pool to the same IP address. In his mind it makes sense, as that way it will pick up which line is the fastest to the same point and route accordingly.
I read in the manuals that these IP addresses should be unique, and therefore did as the manual said. What will happen if they are set to the same address and why is that so ? Here is my thinking on how it works, please correct me where I am going wrong. I have 5 WAN ports. The load balancer will constantly ping WAN1, WAN2,WAN3, WAN4 & WAN5 simultaneously. Depending on which has the quickest response and is not currently transmitting packets, it will utilise. Then why set the unique IP addresses ?
