serverfarm primary-serverfarm [backup sorry-serverfarm [sticky]]

no serverfarm

Syntax Description

primary-serverfarm

Character string used to identify the server farm.

backup

(Optional) Sets the name of a backup server farm.

sorry-serverfarm

(Optional) Backup server farm name.

sticky

(Optional) Associates the backup server farm with a virtual server.


Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Modes

SLB virtual server configuration submode

Usage Guidelines

The server farm name must match the server farm name specified in a previous module CSM submode serverfarm command.

The backup server farm can be associated with a policy. A primary server farm must be associated with that policy to allow the backup server farm to function properly. The backup server farm can have a different predictor option than the primary server. When the sticky option is used for a policy, then stickiness can apply to real servers in the backup server farm. Once a connection has been balanced to a server in the backup server farm, subsequent connections from the same client can be stuck to the same server even when the real servers in the primary server farm come back to the operational state. You may allow the sticky attribute when applying the backup server farm to a policy.

By default, the sticky option does not apply to the backup server farm. To remove the backup server farm, you can either use the serverfarm command without the backup option or use the no serverfarm command.

Command History

The last real server that was used for a connection from a client is stored for the duration value after the end of the client's latest connection. If a new connection from the client to the virtual server is initiated during that time, the same real server that was used for the previous connection is chosen for the new connection.

A nonzero sticky group ID must correspond to a sticky group previously created using the sticky command. Virtual servers in the same sticky group share sticky state information.

Command History

Modification

1.1(1)

This command was introduced for server VLANs.

2.1(1)

This command is now available for both client and server VLANs.


Usage Guidelines

If the ICMP protocol does not terminate, you may need to set the idle timeout of these connections. The alias IP address in the CSM serves three purposes:

•It is a shared next hop (gateway) for two CSMs in the redundant configuration. The servers should point to the alias as the default gateway. The Route Health Injection (RHI) service would be using the alias IP address as the next hop when inserting a route.

•If ping is destined to the alias IP address, the CSM sends the reply back to the source MAC. This reply is useful when performing an ICMP probe from one CSM, across a firewall farm, to the other CSM alias address.

•In the Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) configuration, the alias IP address is the destination VIP for the DNS request.

Examples

This example shows how to assign multiple IP addresses to the CSM: 

Cat6k-2(config-slb-vlan-server)# alias 130.21.34.56 255.255.255.0
