| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
|
You can configure server load balancing based on a client's IP address, which is generally used with the client port number to produce a session identifier. You can enable Layer 3 processing so the WSM uses only the client IP address as the session identifier.
When Layer 3 only processing is enabled, the WSM associates all connections from the same client with the same real server while any connection exists between them. This option is necessary for some server applications where state information about the client system is divided across different simultaneous connections, and also in applications where TCP fragments are generated. If the real server to which the client is assigned becomes unavailable, the Layer 4 software will allow the client to connect to a different server.
Note:
IP server load balancing must be used if IP traffic is totally encrypted and you do not have access to the content.
