| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
The following figure illustrates the passive cookie mode. When the client first makes a request, the WSM selects the server based on the load-balancing metric. The real server embeds a cookie in its response to the client. The WSM records the cookie value and matches it in subsequent requests from the same client. Subsequent requests from this client with the same cookie value will be sent to the same real server.
Note:
The passive cookie mode is recommended for temporary cookies. However, you can use this mode for permanent cookies if the server is embedding an IP address.
