for the sites.

 

 

Session capacity threshold

Enabled.

 

The default value for the threshold is

 

90%. Thus, a site ServerIron ADX is

 

eligible to be the best site only if its

 

session utilization is below 90%.

You can disable this metric.

You can change the threshold to a value from 0-100%.

Refer to “To view the results of traffic distribution after configuring weighted site metrics, use the show gslob traffic site command. Refer to “Displaying results of traffic distribution for weighted sites” on page 235.” on page 213.

Available session capacity

Enabled.

 

The default tolerance is 10%.

 

When comparing sites based on the

 

session table utilization, the GSLB

 

ServerIron ADX will prefer one site

 

over the other only if the difference

 

in session table utilization is greater

 

than the tolerance percentage.

You can disable this metric.

You can change the tolerance to a value from 0-100%.
