Radware's load balancer currently supports three network interfaces. Prior to this code addition, the configuration of those three interfaces was: one interface for management, one for high availability backup, and one for load balancing servers where the IP that the outside world sees (VIP) and the IP that the servers respond to (PIP) are identical. This change adds a new "2-legged" configuration: one interface for management, one interface for a VIP network, and one interface for the PIP and the high availability backup network. During VIP creation, the LBaaS driver detects if the incoming configuration is "2-legged" by comparing VIP and PIP networks. If they are different it allocates a new port on the PIP network in order to obtain an IP address for the PIP and names that port after its associated VIP ID. vDirect is then directed to create a load balancer with the PIP network also used as the HA network instead of using the vDirect container's default HA network configuration. During VIP deletion, the LBaas driver detects if a port for the PIP had been previously allocated by searching for and deleting port names that map to the VIP ID.
