— Disable DAM and specify proxy IP addresses on the client ports.
3. Server processing is not required if using proxy IP addresses, so optionally you can disable it.
4. Select the appropriate load-balancing metric for the real server group.
— If embedding an IP address in the cookie, select roundrobin or leastconns as the metric.
— If you are not embedding the IP address in the cookie, select hash as the metric in
conjunction with a cookie assignment server.
While you may experience traffic concentration using the hash metric with a cookie
assignment server, using a hash metric without a cookie assignment server causes traffic
concentration on your real servers.
5. Enable cookie-based persistence on the virtual server service.
In this example, cookie-based persistence is enabled for service 80 (HTTP).
After you specify
cookie as the persistence mode, you are prompted for the following
parameters:
— Cookie-based persistence mode:
insert, passive or rewrite
— Cookie name
— Starting point of the cookie value
— Number of bytes to be extracted
— Look for cookie in the URI [e | d]
If you want to look for a cookie name/value pair in the URI, enter e to enable this option. To
look for the cookie in the HTTP header, enter d to disable this option.
