Using Application Setup
–
Create a server farm that contains one or more real servers for this application (see Table 5-10
in the “Configuring Virtual Server Layer 7 Load Balancing” section for details on setting server
farm attributes).
–
If the ACE is to initiate HTTPS connections to the real servers, choose the desired SSL proxy
for initiation to this application from the menu next to SSL Initiation.
–
(One-Armed Topology) Under NAT, enter the NAT pool ID from Step 8.
After you set up a base virtual server, you can test it to validate your configuration and isolate any
issues in your networking application. You can then add these more advanced load balancing options
to your networking application:
–
Additional real servers to a server farm. See Table 5-10 in the “Configuring Virtual Server
Layer 7 Load Balancing” section for details.
–
Health monitoring probes and attributes for the specific probe type. See Table 5-11 in the
“Configuring Virtual Server Layer 7 Load Balancing” section for details.
–
Stickiness, where client requests for content are to be handled by a sticky group when match
conditions are met. See Table 5-13 in the “Configuring Virtual Server Layer 7 Load Balancing”
section for details.
–
Application protocol inspection, where the ACE allows the virtual server to verify protocol
behavior and identify unwanted or malicious traffic passing through the ACE. See the
“Configuring Virtual Server Protocol Inspection” section for details.
c. Click Deploy Now to deploy this configuration on the ACE and save your entries to the
running-configuration and startup-configuration files.
d. To display statistics and status information for an existing virtual server, choose a virtual server from
the Virtual Servers table, and then click Details. The show service-policy global detail CLI
command output appears. See the Viewing All Virtual Servers, page 5-65 for details.
