In a HA setup that uses a layer 4 load balancer, the load balancer accepts Rancher client connections over the TCP/UDP protocols (i.e., the transport level). The load balancer then forwards these connections to individual cluster nodes without reading the request itself. Because the load balancer cannot read the packets it's forwarding, the routing decisions it can make are limited.

In a HA setup that uses a layer 7 load balancer, the load balancer accepts Rancher client connections over the HTTP protocol (i.e., the application level). This application-level access allows the load balancer to read client requests and then redirect to them to cluster nodes using logic that optimally distributes load.

+When deploying Rancher in an HA cluster, certain ports on your nodes must be open to allow communication with Rancher. The ports that must be open change according to the type of machines hosting your cluster nodes. For example, if your are deploying Rancher on nodes hosted by an IaaS, port `22` must be open for SSH. The following diagram depicts the ports that are opened for each [cluster type]({{< baseurl >}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning).
