Use this command to specify the weight load number of an IPv4 or IPv6 real server.
| weight-number | Specifies the weight load number. Valid values are 1-255. The default value is 1. |
Weight defaults to 1.
Configuration command, SLB Real Server Configuration mode.
Weight is a way of accounting for the resource differences between servers. If a real server has the capacity to handle twice the number of sessions as another real server, its weight ratio to the other server can be set to 2:1. The default weight for all real servers is 1. When all real servers are configured with the default weight, each real server is treated equally. When a non?default weight is applied to any real servers in the server farm, the algorithm takes that weight into account when assigning sessions to the real servers.
The “no” form of this command resets the weight load number to the default value of 1.
This example shows how to set the weight load number to 3 on the real server at IP 10.1.2.3 in the “myproductHTTP” server farm:
System(rw-config)->ip slb serverfarm myproductHTTP System(rw-config-slb-sfarm)->real 10.1.2.3 port 80 System(rw-config-slb-real)->weight 3 System(rw-config-slb-real)->inservice
This example shows how to set the weight load number to 3 on the real server at IP 2001:11ac:fd34::5 in the “myproductHTTP66” server farm:
System(rw-config)->ipv6 slb serverfarm myproductHTTP66 System(rw-config-slb-sfarm)->real 2001:11ac:fd34::5 port 80 System(rw-config-slb-real)->weight 3 System(rw-config-slb-real)->inservice
