Creating target groups

Last Updated : Feb 16, 2022 |

About this task

In cluster deployments, target groups forward traffic from the load balancer to a specific node of the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway cluster when certain conditions are met.

You must configure two target groups for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway node IP addresses with the following parameters:

Group

Protocol

Port

IP to register

Target group for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes #1

HTTPS

8448

IP addresses of all Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes in the cluster.

These are the IP addresses of the primary eth0 interface of cluster nodes.

On the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway administration portal, you must enable the use of an external load balancer. For details, see Administering the Avaya Aura® Web Gateway.

Target group for Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes #2

HTTPS

8445

IP addresses of all Avaya Aura® Web Gateway nodes in the cluster.

These are the IP addresses of the primary eth0 interface of cluster nodes.

Only perform this procedure if you have an Avaya Aura® Web Gateway cluster.

    1. In IP, type the IP address of a node as specified in the IP to register column of the table for the group you are configuring.
    2. In Port, type the port number specified for the group in the Port column of the table.
    3. Click Include as pending below.
    4. Repeat substeps a to c for all remaining IP addresses that you must include in the group.
  7. Click Create target group.
  8. After creating all target groups, do the following:
    1. Navigate to Services  > EC2  > Target Groups and select the target group that you have created.
    2. Select the target group for port 8445 that you have just created.
