Configuring Layer 3 Load Balancing

A Layer 3 load-balancing configuration enables the CSS to use a Virtual IP address (VIP) to load balance Web traffic to Web servers based on IP addresses.

When you select Layer 3 load balancing, the script automatically:

•Creates an owner (L3_Owner)

•Creates a Layer 3 content rule (L3_Rule) and defines ArrowPoint Content Awareness (ACA) as the load balance method

•Activates the services

•Activates the content rule

•Saves the running-config to the startup-config

The script prompts you to configure:

•Service name (default name is Server1)

•Service IP address

•VIP for the content rule
