2. Define the string(s) to be used for URL load balancing.
n
add : Add string or a path.
n
rem : Remove string or a path.
A default string “ any ” indicates that the particular server can handle all URL or Web-cache
requests. Refer to the following examples given below:
Example 1: String with the Forward Slash (/)
A string that starts with a forward slash ( / ), such as “ /images ,” indicates that the server
will process requests that start out with the “ /images ” string only.
For example, with the “ /images ” string, the server will handle these requests:
/images/product/b.gif
/images/company/a.gif
/images/testing/c.jpg
The server will not handle these requests:
/company/images/b.gif
/product/images/c.gif
/testing/images/a.gif
Example 2: String without the Forward Slash (/)
A string that does not start out with a forward slash ( / ) indicates that the server will process
any requests that contain the defined string. For example, with the “
images ” string, the server
will process these requests:
/images/product/b.gif
/images/company/a.gif
/images/testing/c.jpg
/company/images/b.gif
/product/images/c.gif
/testing/images/a.gif
Example 3: String with the Forward Slash (/) Only
If a server is configured with the load balance string ( / ) only, it will only handle requests to
the root directory. For example, the server will handle any files in the
root directory:
/
/index.htm
/default.asp
/index.shtm
>> # /cfg/slb/layer7/slb/add|rem < string >
