NSX ALB – A conversation about GSLB Basics

CuriousTechie: Hey, I am learning to setup Global Server Load Balancing on AVI. I do not have much experience on GSLB especially with AVI or NSX ALB, can you help me understand the basic concept of GSLB with NSX ALB?

ITGuy: Sure! Are you good with how GSLB works irrespective of the Load Balancer?

CuriousTechie: I know some basics, but a white board refresher will be helpful.

ITGuy: Sure! Let’s see what happens when you type a URL in your favourite web browser. You input a URL lets say “curioustechies.in”and DNS does its magic and run multiple DNS queries to find you the IP of the web site/server that you are looking for. I believe you have a fair understanding of how DNS works so will not go much deep into it. OK?

Quick NSX D-IDPS validation

A conversation about basic validation of NSX Distributed Intrusion Detection and Prevention System

CuriousTechie: Hey IT Guy, I am doing a Green filed deployment and have enabled NSX distributed IDPS in the environment. It may take few days to setup a testing environment with Security testing tools to simulate attacks and validate if the NSX D-IDPS is actually working or not. Is there a way to quicky validate the basic intrusion detection and prevention functionality of the solution?
