Configuring Layer 5 Load Balancing

A Layer 5 load-balancing configuration enables the CSS to use a VIP address to load balance Web traffic to Web servers based on URLs.

When you select Layer 5 load balancing, the script automatically:

•Creates an owner (L5_Owner)

•Creates a Layer 3 content rule (L3_Rule)

•Creates a Layer 5 content rule (L5_Rule) and defines:

–Protocol tcp

–Port 80

–URL "/*"

–Load balance method as ACA

•Activates the services

•Activates the content rule

•Saves the running-config to the startup-config
