Adding a New Load Balancing Group
1 In the Portals > Load Balancing page, click Add Group. The New Load Balancing Group configuration
information displays.
2 Enter a friendly LB Group Name for this load balancing group.
3 Select a load balancing method from the LB Method drop-down list. Options include:
• Weighted Requests – Keeps track of the number of incoming requests (including successfully
completed requests) to decide which member should handle the next incoming request. The LB
Ratio decides the percentage distribution.
• Weighted Traffic – Keeps track of the number of bytes of inbound/outbound data to decide
which member should handle the next incoming request.
• Least Requests – Keeps track of the number of incoming requests (excluding successfully
completed requests) that are currently being serviced to decide which Member should handle the
next incoming request.
4 Select Enable Load Balancing to enable this group for load balancing.
5 The Enable Session Persistence option is automatically selected when the group is enabled. This
option allows the administrator to enable continuous user sessions by forwarding the "requests" part of
the same session to the same backend member.
