Cisco Systems 6000 manual Configuring Policies

Configuring the Content Switching Module

This example shows how to create real servers:

Router(config)# ip slb serverfarm serverfarm

Router(config-slb-sfarm)# real 10.8.0.7

Router(config-slb-real)# inservice

Router(config-slb-sfarm)# real 10.8.0.8

Router(config-slb-real)# inservice

Router(config-slb-sfarm)# real 10.8.0.9

Router(config-slb-real)# inservice

Router(config-slb-sfarm)# real 10.8.0.10

Router(config-slb-real)# inservice

Router(config-slb-real)# end

Router# show ip slb real detail

Router# show ip slb conns detail

Configuring Policies

Policies are access rules that traffic must match when balancing to a server farm. They provide the means for the CSM to balance Layer 7 traffic. Multiple policies can be assigned to one virtual server, creating multiple access rules for that virtual server. When configuring policies, you first specify access rules by URL maps, client-groups, and sticky groups, and then you combine these access rules under a particular policy.

		Note		You must associate policies with one server farm. A policy that does not have an associated server
				farm cannot forward traffic. The server farm associated with a policy receives all the requests that
				match that policy.
				When the CSM is able to match policies, it selects the policy that appears first in the policy list. Policies
				are located in the policy list in the sequence in which they were bound to the virtual server. You can
				reorder the policies in the list by removing policies and reentering them in the correct order. Enter the
				no slb-policypolicy name and the slb-policypolicy name commands in the ip slb vserver submode to
				remove and enter policies.
	Caution			When changing the policies associated with a vserver, you must take out and put back the vserver in
				service to reflect the changes.
				To configure load-balancing policies, perform this task:
			Command		Purpose
		Step 1
			Router(config)# ip slb policy policy-name		Create the policy and enter the policy submode
					to configure the policy attributes1.
		Step 2	Router(config-slb-policy)# url-map		Configure a list of URLs with a policy2. You
			url-map-name		must have previously created and configured the
					URL maps and cookie maps with the ip slb map
					command. See the “Configuring Maps” section
					on page 27.
		Step 3	Router(config-slb-policy)# cookie-map		Configure a list of cookies with a policy2.
			cookie-map-name
		Step 4	Router(config-slb-policy)# sticky-group		Associate this policy to a specific sticky group2.
			group-id
