7. Enable SLB on the switch.

8. Enable DAM on the switch or configure a proxy IP address on the client port.

nTo turn on DAM:

nTo turn off DAM and configure a proxy IP address on the client port:

NOTE – By enabling DAM on the switch or, alternatively, disabling DAM and configuring a

Proxy IP address on the client port, port mapping for URL load balancing can be performed.

9. Enable URL-based SLB on the virtual server(s).

Statistics for URL-Based Server Load Balancing

To show the number of hits to the SLB or cache server, use this command:

Sample Statistics:

>> # /cfg/slb/on (Turn SLB on)

>> # /cfg/slb/adv/direct ena

>> # /cfg/slb/direct dis

>> # port 2/pip 12.12.12.12

>> # proxy ena

>> # /cfg/slb/virt <virtual server number>/service 80/httpslb urlslb

>> # /stats/slb/layer7/lb
