Cisco Systems 6000 manual Configuring Server Farms

Configuring the Content Switching Module

This example shows how to configure the CSM for server-side VLANs:

Router(config)# ip slb vlan 150 server

Router(config-slb-vlan-server)#ip addr 123.46.50.6 255.255.255.0

Router(config-slb-vlan-server)#route 123.50.0.0 255.255.0.0 gateway 123.44.50.1

Router(config-slb-vlan-server)# alias 123.60.7.6 255.255.255.0

Router(config-slb-vlan-server)# exit

Configuring Server Farms

A server farm or server pool is a collection of servers that contain the same content. You specify the server farm name when you configure the server farm and add servers to it, and when you bind the server farm to a virtual server. Configuring server farms requires naming the server farm, configuring a load-balancing algorithm (predictor) and other attributes of the farm, setting or specifying a set of real servers (see the “Configuring Real Servers” section on page 25), and setting or specifying the attributes of the real servers.

When you configure server farms, you must perform the following:

•Create the server farm

•Configure the server farm

•Create real servers

•Configure the real servers

To configure server farms, perform this task:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router(config)# ip slb serverfarm	Create and name a server farm and enter the
	serverfarm-name	server farm configuration mode1 2.
Step 2
	Router(config-slb-sfarm)# predictor	Configure the load-balancing prediction
	[roundrobin leastconns ip-hash netmask]	algorithm2. If not specified, the default is
		roundrobin.
Step 3	Router(config-slb-sfarm)# nat client	Enable the NAT mode, client2. Refer to the
	client-pool-name	“Configuring Client NAT Pools” section on
		page 333.
Step 4
	Router(config-slb-sfarm)# probe probe-name	Associate the server farm to a probe that can be
		defined by the probe command2, 3.
Step 5
	Router(config-slb-sfarm)# bindid bind-id	Bind a single physical server to multiple server
		farms and report a different weight for each
		one2. The bindid is used by DFP3.
Step 6
	Router# show ip slb serverfarm	Display information about one or all server
	serverfarm-name [detail]	farms.

1.Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.

2.The no form of this command restores the defaults.

3.This step is optional.
