Configuring Layer 5 Load Balancing
A Layer 5 load-balancing configuration enables the CSS to use a VIP address to
load balance web traffic to web servers based on URLs.
When you select Layer 5 load balancing, the script automatically:
• Creates an owner (L5_Owner)
• Creates a Layer 3 content rule (L3_Rule)
• Creates a Layer 5 content rule (L5_Rule) and defines:
– Protocol TCP
– Port 80
– URL "/*"
– Load balance method as ACA
• 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)
• VIP for the content rule
