CHAPTER 16 Services
An Upstream Group is a set of one or more hosts (Upstream Host) that can serve a particular set of
data. The HTTP Proxy distributes the requests among the members (hosts) of the Upstream Group
according to the specified load balancing mode.
The Upstream Group may be made up of one or more primary hosts and zero or more backup hosts.
HTTP requests for the Upstream Group are distributed among all the primary hosts. Backup hosts
do not receive requests unless all the primary hosts are down.
The following procedure describes how to configure Upstream Groups through the Web interface.
You can also configure it through ini file [UpstreamGroup] or CLI (configure network >
http-proxy > upstream-group).
