Configuring Server Load Balancing

IOS SLB Configuration Task List

Specifying a Bind ID

To configure a bind ID on the server farm for use by DFP, use the following command in SLB server farm configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
Router(config-slb-sfarm)# bindid [bind_id]	Specifies a bind ID on the server farm for use by
	DFP.

Specifying a Real Server

A server farm comprises a number of real servers. The real servers are the physical devices that provide the load-balanced services.

To identify a real server in your network, use the following command inSLB server farm configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
Router(config-slb-sfarm)# real ip-address	Identifies a real server to the IOS SLB function
	and initiates real server configuration mode.

Configuring Real Server Attributes

To configure real server attributes, use the following commands in SLB real server configuration mode:

Command	Purpose
Router(config-slb-real)# faildetect numconns number-conns	Specifies the number of consecutive connection
[numclients number-clients]	failures and, optionally, the number of unique
	client connection failures, that constitute failure of
	the real server.
Router(config-slb-real)# maxconns maximum-number	Specifies the maximum number of active
	connections allowed on the real server at one time.
Router(config-slb-real)# reassign threshold	Specifies the number of consecutive unanswered
	SYNs that initiates assignment of the connection
	to a different real server.
Router(config-slb-real)# retry retry-value	Specifies the interval (in seconds) to wait between
	the detection of a server failure and the next
	attempt to connect to the failed server.
Router(config-slb-real)# weight weighting-value	Specifies the workload capacity of the real server
	relative to other servers in the server farm.
