6.4 Configuring Server Load Balancing

In a network where multiple servers are deployed, such as a data center, you can configure server
load balancing to load balance the processing of network services among multiple servers. This
improves service processing capabilities.

6.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task

Before configuring server load balancing, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment,
complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This helps you complete the
configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
In a network, such as a data center, a server processes a large number of user requests. The
processing capabilities of a single server is limited and may become a bottleneck. By using server
load balancing, you distribute network services to multiple servers for processing. This reduces
the burden of a single server, improves overall service processing capabilities of the network,
and ensures high reliability of services. To upgrade the network or improve the server
performance, you simply add servers to a server group, without changing the current network
structure and stopping existing services.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before configuring server load balancing, complete the following tasks:
Issue 01 (2012-03-15)
Run the display load-balance member [ name member-name | all ] command to check
the configuration of the load balancing member.
Run the display load-balance probe [ name probe-name [ group name group-name
member name member-name ] | all ] command to check the configuration of the probe.
Run the display load-balance group [ name group-name | all ] command to check the
configuration of the load balancing group.
Run the display load-balance group name group-name member name member-name
[ verbose ] command to check the configuration of the load balancing member instance.
Run the display load-balance l7classifier [ name l7classifier-name | all ] command to
check the configuration of the Layer 7 classifier.
Run the display load-balance action [ name action-name | all ] command to check the
configuration of the load balancing action profile.
Run the display load-balance l3classifier [ name l3classifier-name | all ] command to
check the configuration of the Layer 3 classifier.
Run the display load-balance policy [ name policy-name | all ] command to check the
configuration of the load balancing policy.
Run the display load-balance parameter connection [ name connection-name | all ]
command to check the configuration of the connection parameter profile.
Run the display load-balance parameter http [ name http-name | all ] command to check
the configuration of the HTTP parameter profile.
