Can we test the ADC features on the A10 CFW?

Product Discussions A10 Control / Harmony Controller

The customer wants to test Web Application Firewall and load balancer feature on the A10 Thunder ADC. Currently, we do not have an A10 Thunder ADC physical appliance but do have an A10 Thunder 3350-E CFW.

Can we test the ADC features on the A10 CFW?

The customer specifically requests testing for the following ADC functions:

  • Server Load Balancing
  • Global Server Load Balancing
  • Web Application Firewall

Could you please explain the limiting feature for ADC testing on the CFW?

Thunder CFW contains the entirety of ADC, so basic ADC functionality can be tested. Please keep in mind that there are two flavors of WAF: “old” WAF and NGWAF. “Old” WAF is no longer sold, so if this is a new customer, be sure to use the NGWAF on v6.x

Thank you very much
