Create Outbound Rules

Because the need for a Public IP address on the LoadMaster is not a requirement, an outbound rule is required to send traffic out of the Azure Load Balancer. This is also necessary if using GEO clusters (outlined later in this document) because the traffic must be seen as the public IP address of the Azure Load Balancer.

To create outbound rules, follow these steps:

1. Click Add an outbound rule.

   

2. Under Add load balancing rule, complete the following fields:
   1. Enter a Name for the outbound rule.
   2. Select the IP Version.
   3. Select the Frontend IP Address created earlier.
   4. Select the Backend pool created earlier.
   5. Select Manually choose number of outbound ports for the Port allocation.
   6. Select Maximum number of backend instances for Outbound ports.
   7. Enter 2 for the Maximum number of backend instances.
   8. Click Add.
3. Click Next: Tags.
4. You can optionally make any necessary changes to the Tags section or keep the defaults.

   

5. Click Next: Review + create.
6. Click Create.
