3. Globally enable compression.
4. Set the HTTP virtual service to used in the defined virtual server.
5. Enable DAM or configure proxy IP addresses and enable proxy on the client port.
Example 2: Configuring a Compression Service with a Compression URL
Exception Rule List
1. Before you can configure a compression service, 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.
— Enable SLB.
— Define server port and client port.
— Define virtual server
For more information on how to configure your network for SLB, see Server Load Balancing,
page 165.
2. Define the compression policy which will govern the compression behavior:
For details on defining additional compression policy parameters, see the section on the
/cfg/slb/accel/compress/comppol menu in the Alteon Application Switch Operating
System Command Reference.
3. Define a compression URL exception rule list.
