Server Load Balancing
— Assign servers to real server groups.
— Define virtual servers and services.
2. Enable client proxy operation mode on the real servers used in load balancing.
>> # /cfg/slb/real 1/adv/proxy ena
3. On the virtual server attached to the real servers, enable the X-Forwarded-For header:
>> # /cfg/slb/virt 1/service 80/http/xforward ena
Note: Session mirroring is not supported when X-Forward-For is enabled.
4. Apply and save the configuration.
>> # apply
>> # save
Controlling Server Response Codes
Alteon can intercept server responses and update the HTTP error messages sent to the user by the
server.
You can change the error code generated by the server, edit the error reason, or redirect to a
different HTTP location. When redirecting, the hostname specified should include the protocol. For
example: HTTP://www.a.com and not www.a.com.
You can define multiple error codes per service if all use the same behavior. When editing the
errcode configuration, type all the relevant codes. To configure multiple error codes, type the codes
separated with a comma. For example: 403, 504.
Make sure that you define whether the new values are added to or replace the existing values. For
example, if the current configuration is for X and you update the code to Y, then X is removed. To
configure both X and Y, type both ports separated with a comma. For example: X, Y.
When editing the existing configuration, the current configuration is displayed in square brackets [ ]
to facilitate the update. To clear the existing configuration of the page name and page type, enter
None.
To configure server response code control
1. Ensure that Alteon is configured for basic SLB:
— Assign an IP address to each of the real servers in the server pool.
— Define an IP interface.
— Define each real server.
— Assign servers to real server groups.
— Define virtual servers and services.
2. Access error code handling, enable it and then enter the error codes to be changed.
>> Main# /cfg/slb/virt 1/service 80/http/errcode
>> Enter status enabled/disabled [e:d:c] [c]: e
>> Enter match error code(s), e.g 203, 204 []: 504
