Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a Server Load Balancing cluster.
•
The VIP address of the SLB cluster must be an address that is in the same subnet as the servers.
•
Specifying the l3 parameter when configuring a VIP cluster is not required. VIP clusters only use the
Layer-3 mode to route traffic to the servers. Layer-2 mode is not supported with this type of cluster.
•
The QoS policy condition must exist before it is assigned to an SLB cluster. Use the policy condition
command to create the QoS policy condition. See the "QoS Policy Commands" chapter for more infor-
mation.
•
SLB clusters are not active if the Server Load Balancing feature is disabled for the switch. Use the
slb admin command to enable this feature. Note, however, that it is possible to configure clusters and
add or remove servers from a cluster even when SLB is disabled for the switch.

IP address must be in dotted decimal format.

tion MAC and TTL of each packet is modified before the packet is
bridged or routed to the server.

fied before they are bridged to the server. This parameter is only avail-
able when using the condition parameter.
