Configuring the CDSM
General Settings—Last Resort
For information on configuring all general settings, except Last Resort, see the “General Settings”
section on page 4-48.
Note This is a Release 2.1 feature. To configure last resort routing for Release 2.0, see the “Configuring
Last-Resort Routing” section on page E-6.
Last-resort routing is applicable when load-based routing is enabled and all Service Engines have
exceeded their thresholds or all Service Engines in the domain are offline. The Service Router can
redirect requests to a configurable alternate domain when all Service Engines serving a client network
region are overloaded.
Note If the last-resort domain is not configured and the Service Engine thresholds are exceeded, requests are
redirected to the origin server.
To configure last-resort routing, do the following:
Step 1 Choose Devices > Devices. The Devices Table page is displayed.
Step 2 Click the Edit icon next to the SR you want to configure. The Device home page is displayed.
Step 3 Click Show All to display the top-level menu options, and choose General Settings > Last Resort. The
Last Resort Table page is displayed.
Step 4 Click the Create New icon.
Click the Edit icon next to the domain name to edit a table entry.
Step 5 In the Domain Name field, enter the service routing domain name; for example, srfqdn.cisco.com.
Step 6 In the Alternate Domain Name field, enter where to route requests for the specified domain; for
example, www.cisco.com.
Step 7 Click Submit to save the settings. The entry is added to the Last Resort Table.
