Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for routing information from one network to a load balancing network are provided. The provided system includes a server, and at least one switch in communication with the server over a physical port. The switch includes a network interface component configured to receive information from the server on the physical port, a memory configured to store the address of the server and a virtual port in an address table, the virtual port pointing to the physical port, and one or more processors coupled to the network interface component and the memory. The one or more processors are configured to identify the physical port on which the information arrives and assign the identified physical port to the virtual port and route information from a different network to the server over the physical port pointed to by the virtual port stored in the address table.
