Web Hosting Multiple Customers Using an External Switch
Overview: Web hosting multiple customers using an external switch
You can use the BIG-IP® system to provide hosting services, including application delivery, for multiple customers.
To host multiple web customers, you can incorporate an external switch into the configurations. In this illustration, the BIG-IP system has an interface (5.1) assigned to three VLANs on a network. The three VLANs are vlanA, vlanB, and vlanB. Interface 5.1 processes traffic for all three VLANs. Note that each VLAN contains two servers, and serves a specific customer.
