load balancing based on header hash, perform the following procedure:
1.
Ensure that the switch has already been configured for basic SLB:
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.
For information on how to configure your network for SLB, see

2.
Enable header hashing.

Set the metric for the real server group to
minmisses
