Configuring virtual server load balancing

The following are general steps for configuring virtual server load balancing (SLB).


Step Description
Configuring each real server
Defines the IP route from the real server to the switch that performs SLB. Enables the real server.
Defining an IP interface on the WSM
Defines the IP route from the WSM to all of the real (physical) servers. The WSM uses this path to determine the real servers' TCP/IP reach.
Configuring a real server group
Combines real servers into real server groups. Each real server group should consist of all the real servers which provide a specific service for load balancing. Each group must consist of at least one real server. Each real server can belong to more than one group.
Configuring a virtual server
Configures the virtual server IP address, adds the TCP/UDP port and real server group to the virtual server configuration, and enables the virtual server.
Configuring services for a virtual server
Configures the services assigned to a virtual server.
Configuring ports for server load balancing
On a per port basis, enables or disables processing independently for each type of Layer 4 traffic (client and server).
Enabling or disabling server load balancing
Globally enables Server Load Balancing
