Configuring Server Load Balancing
Modifying Optional Parameters
As shown in the table on
for the SLB cluster's "sticky" time, ping timeout, ping period, ping retries, and relative weight (prefer-
ence). The following subsections describe how to modify these parameters.
•
Modifying the Ping Period. You can modify the ping period with the
command, which is described in
•
Modifying the Ping Timeout. You can modify the ping timeout with the
command, which is described in
•
Modifying the Number of Ping Retries. You can modify the number of ping retries with the
cluster ping retries
•
Modifying the Relative Weight of an SLB Cluster Server. You can configure server preferences
within a cluster by modifying the relative weight of each server with the
command, which is described in
Modifying the Ping Period
You can modify this value with the
name of the SLB cluster, ping period, and the user-specified number of seconds. For default and range of
values for the parameters, check the
Load Balancing Default Values" on page 19-3
For example, to set the ping period on an SLB cluster called "Web_Server" to 1200 seconds enter:
-> ip slb cluster Web_Server ping period 120
Note. If you set the ping period to any value other than 0, then the ping period must be greater than or
equal to the ping timeout value divided by 1000. For example, if the ping timeout is 5000 milliseconds,
the ping period must be at least 5 seconds. The ping timeout value can be modified with the
ping timeout
command, which is described in
Modifying the Ping Timeout
You can modify the value of the ping period with the
slb cluster, the name of the SLB cluster, ping timeout, and the user-specified number of milliseconds.
For example to set the ping timeout on an SLB cluster called "Web_Server" to 1000 milliseconds enter:
-> ip slb cluster Web_Server ping timeout 1000
Note. You can modify the ping period with the
