We are setting up a new office Communicator in our network and it requires a SLB for the Enterprise pool.

I was thinkin of yousing an old "Layer 2-7 Switch Module for IBM eServer BladeCenter" witch I replaced a year back on or primary webcluster.

The problem I am haveing with the config is that the Enterprise pool requires 12 ports but the SLB only allows for 8.

I was intending to do a non port loadbalancing but I am haveing prolems configuring the box for that.

*************************************

The ports I need are:

TCP 5060, TCP 5061, TCP 5065, TCP 5069, TCP 5071, TCP 5072, TCP 5073, TCP 5074, TCP 8404, TCP 135, TCP 443 and TCP 444.

*************************************

Now the current config I have is:

/c/l3/if 1
        ena
        addr 10.1.2.200
        mask 255.255.255.0
        broad 10.1.2.255
/c/l3/gw 1
        ena
        addr 10.1.2.254
/c/slb/adv
        mnet 10.1.2.0
        mmask 255.255.255.0
/c/slb/real 1
        ena
        rip 10.1.2.41
        weight 10
/c/slb/real 2
        ena
        rip 10.1.2.42
        weight 10
/c/slb/group 1
        health icmp
        add 1
        add 2
/c/slb/port INT8
        server ena
/c/slb/port INT9
        server ena
/c/slb/port EXT1
        client ena
        server ena
        intersw ena
/c/slb/virt 1
        ena
        vip 10.1.2.50
        layr3 ena
/c/slb/virt 1/service 5060
        group 1
        pbind clientip
/c/slb/filt 1
        ena
        action allow
        vlan any
/c/slb/port EXT1
        filt ena
        add 1

*************************************

The problem I cant seem to get past is that even if I do "layr3 ena" I still have to assign the "group 1" inside a virt 1/service (5060).  I have confirme the SLB is functioning on the specified port 5060.

Is there any way to do this without ports?, Just a straigt IP loadbalancing without any ports assigned?

I  know my firmware is old (20.2.2.7) and fully intend to update it but first I like to know if this is possible.
