FIGURE 27 Example Proxy Server Cache Load Balancing Configuration

Perform the following steps to configure Proxy Server Cache Load Balancing.

1. Add the cache servers as customary, using the server cache-name string ip-addr command.

2. Add the HTTP ports and configure port-specific health check parameters at the Cache Server

level, using the port http | num commands.

3. Create the proxy virtual IP address (VIP) and bind the HTTP ports of the cache servers to the

VIP. Use the server virtual-name-or-ip string ip-addr and bind… commands.

4. Add the cache servers to a cache group using the server cache-group 1 command.

5. Save the configuration changes to the startup-config file using the write memory command.

NOTE

If you have already configured your cache servers and cache group, you do not need to change their

configuration. You only need to add the VIP for the proxy and bind the HTTP ports to it, then save the

changes.

To configure the ServerIron ADX for the example shown in Figure 27 on page 113, enter the

following commands on the ServerIron ADX.

NOTE

This example shows commands that are valid on the ServerIron ADX device only when it is running

the Layer 3 router image.

ServerIronADX(config)#server port 4199

ServerIronADX(config-port-4199)#tcp

ServerIronADX(config-port-4199)#exit
