Managing load balancers by network container

A load balancer pool is a group of server network interfaces across which network traffic is load balanced. The server network interfaces must all be on the same network. A load balancer pool has a virtual IP Address (VIP). Network traffic is addressed to the load balancer VIP and forwarded to a server in the pool based on the load balancing algorithm used for the pool.

Before you begin

The network container must have at least one load balancer.
