To configure URL hashing, perform the following procedure:
1. Before you can configure URL hashing, ensure that the switch has already been config-
ured for basic SLB with the following tasks:
n
Assign an IP address to each of the real servers in the server pool.
n
Define an IP interface on the switch.
n
Define each real server.
n
Assign servers to real server groups.
n
Define virtual servers and services.
n
Configure load-balancing algorithm for hash or minmiss .
n
Enable SLB.
For information on how to configure your network for SLB, see Chapter 6, “Server Load
Balancing .”
n
Define server port and client port.
2. Enable URL hashing.
Hashing is based on the URL, including the HTTP Host: header (if present), up to a maximum
of 255 bytes.
3. Set the metric for the real server group to minmisses or hash .
>> # /cfg/slb/virt 1
>> Virtual Server 1 # service 80
>> Virtual Server 1 http Service # httpslb urlhash
Enter new hash length [1-255]: 25
>> # /cfg/slb/group 1/metric < hash | minmiss >
