QUIC bridge configuration

December 29, 2023
Contributed by:

To configure QUIC bridge, you must complete the following:

  • Add QUIC bridge profile
  • Add QUIC back-end servers
  • Add QUIC service on the appliance
  • Add load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge
  • Bind QUIC bridge to load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge

Important

Before you configure the QUIC bridge, ensure you first enable the load balancing feature on the appliance. For more information, see Set up basic load balancing.

Configure QUIC bridge by using the CLI

The following sections must be configured by using the CLI.

Add a QUIC bridge profile

You must add a QUIC bridge profile.

At the command prompt, type:

add quicBridge profile <name> -routingAlgorithm <PLAINTEXT> -serveridlen <value>

Example:

add quicBridge profile q1 -routingAlgorithm PLAINTEXT -serveridlen 6

Note

The serveridlen parameter configured in the example is the length of a custom server ID, which is the hex string of IP and PORT.

Add QUIC back-end application server

You must add QUIC back-end application servers.

At the command prompt, type:

-  add server <name> (<IPAddress>)
-  add server <name> (<IPAddress>)

Example:

-  add server s1 192.0.2.20
-  add server s2 192.0.2.30

Add QUIC bridge service

You must add QUIC bridge service to the application servers.

At the command prompt, type:

-  add service  <name>  \(<IP> | <serverName>) <serviceType> <port> \[-CustomServerID <string>]

-  add service  <name>  \(<IP> | <serverName>) <serviceType> <port> \[-CustomServerID <string>]

Example:

-  add service src1 s1 QUIC_BRIDGE 443 -CUSTOMSERVERID C0A8026401BB

-  add service src2 s2 QUIC_BRIDGE 443 -CUSTOMSERVERID C0A802C801BB

Note

The CustomServerID parameters configured in the preceding example are the hex string of a corresponding IP and the PORT of the server (s1 and s2). For the QUIC bridge feature, Citrix recommends you to configure the CustomServerID parameter in the hex string format only.

Add a load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge

You must add a load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge.

At the command prompt, type:

add lb vserver <name> [<IPAddress>@ <port>] [-persistenceType < persistenceType >] [-lbMethod < lbMethod >] [-rule <rule>] [-cltTimeout <secs>] [-quickBridgeProfilename <name>]

Example:

add lb vserver quic_bridge_vip QUIC_BRIDGE 192.0.2.10 443 -persistenceType CUSTOMSERVERID -lbMethod TOKEN -rule QUIC.CONNECTIONID -cltTimeout 120 -quicBridgeProfilename q1

Note

While configuring the QUIC bridge virtual server, you must configure persistenceType parameter as CUSTOMSERVERID, rule parameter as QUIC.CONNECTIONID and LbMethod parameter as TOKEN.

Bind QUIC bridge service to the load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge

You must bind the QUIC bridge service to the load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge.

At the command prompt, type:

-  bind lb vserver <name> (<serviceName>)

-  bind lb vserver <name> (<serviceName>)

Example:

-  bind lb vserver quic_bridge_vip src1

-  bind lb vserver quic_bridge_vip src2

Configure QUIC bridge for service groups

You can also configure QUIC bridge capabilities to service groups. The following steps guide you to configure QUIC bridge for service groups.

To configure QUIC bridge for service groups, you must complete the following:

Add QUIC bridge profile

At the command prompt, type:

add quicBridge profile <name> -routingAlgorithm <PLAINTEXT> -serveridlen <value>

Example:

add quicBridge profile q1 -routingAlgorithm PLAINTEXT -serveridlen 6

Add server of type QUIC

At the command prompt, type:

-  add server <name> (<IPAddress>)
-  add server <name> (<IPAddress>)

Example:

-  add server s1 192.0.2.20
-  add server s2 192.0.2.30

Add QUIC bridge service group

At the command prompt, type:

add serviceGroup <serviceGroupName> \(<IP> | <serverName>) <serviceType>

Example:

add serviceGroup svg1 QUIC_BRIDGE

Bind the QUIC servers to the service group

At the command prompt, type:

-  bind serviceGroup <serviceGroupName> \(<IP>@ | \(<serverName>) \[-CustomServerID <string>]
-  bind serviceGroup <serviceGroupName> \(<IP>@ | \(<serverName>) \[-CustomServerID <string>]

Example:

-  bind serviceGroup svg1 s1 443 -customServerID C0A8026401BB
-  bind serviceGroup svg1 s2 443 -customServerID C0A802C801BB

Add load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge

At the command prompt, type:

add lb vserver <name> [<IPAddress>@ <port> [-persistenceType < persistenceType >] [-lbMethod < lbMethod > [-cltTimeout <secs>] [-quickBridgeProfilename <name>]

Example:

add lb vserver quic_bridge_vip QUIC_BRIDGE 192.0.2.10 443 -persistenceType CUSTOMSERVERID -lbMethod TOKEN -cltTimeout 120 -quicBridgeProfilename q1

Bind the load balancing virtual server of type QUIC bridge to the service group

At the command prompt, type:

bind lb vserver <name>@ (<serviceName>@ <serviceGroupName>

Example:

bind lb vserver quic_bridge_vip svg1
