Server Load balancing (5.6.1)

New load balancing features added to FortiOS 5.6.1.

Add server load balancing real servers on the Virtual Server GUI page (416709)

In previous versions of the FortiOS GUI, after adding a Virtual Server you would go to Policy & Objects > Real Servers to add real servers and associate each real server with a virtual server.

In FortiOS 5.6.1 you now go to Policy & Objects > Virtual Servers, configure a virtual server and then from the same GUI page add real servers to the virtual server. In addition, on the Virtual Server GUI page the option Outgoing Interface is renamed Interface and the load balancing method Source IP Hash has been renamed

Static.
