Configuring Layer 3 Load Balancing
A Layer 3 load-balancing configuration enables the CSS to use a Virtual IP
address (VIP) to load balance web traffic to web servers based on IP addresses.
When you select Layer 3 load balancing, the script automatically:
• Creates an owner (L3_Owner)
• Creates a Layer 3 content rule (L3_Rule) and defines ArrowPoint Content
Awareness (ACA) as the load balance method
• Activates the services
• Activates the content rule
• Saves the running configuration to the startup-config file
The script prompts you to configure:
• Service name (default name is Server1)
• Service IP address
• VIP for the content rule
To configure Layer 3 load balancing, enter
1 at the Configuration Script menu.
