Issue/Introduction
In NSX-V, there was a transparency mode option in the load balancer, is there something similar to that in NSX-T?
Cause
The "transparency" mode is known as "INLINE" in NSX-T.
Resolution
There are multiple options:
- SSL Passthrough = SSL Passthrough passes HTTPS traffic to a backend server without decrypting the traffic on the load balancer. The data is kept encrypted as it travels through the load balancer.
- SSL Offloading = SSL Offloading decrypts all HTTPS traffic on the load balancer, and connects to the selected backend server using HTTP. SSL Offloading allows data to be inspected as it passes between the load balancer and server. If NTLM and multiplexing are not configured, the load balancer establishes a new connection to the selected backend server for each HTTP request.
- SSL End-to End = SSL End-to End decrypts all HTTPS traffic on the load balancer, and connects to the selected backend server using HTTPS. If NTLM and multiplexing are not configured, the load balancer establishes a new connection to the selected backend server for each HTTP request.
