4. Select the appropriate load-balancing metric for the real server group.
n
If embedding an IP address in the cookie, select roundrobin or leastconns as the
metric.
n
If you are not embedding the IP address in the cookie, select hash as the metric in con-
junction with a cookie assignment server.
While you may experience traffic concentration using the hash metric with a cookie
assignment server, using a hash metric without a cookie assignment server will cause
traffic concentration on your real servers.
5. Enable cookie-based persistence on the virtual server service.
In this example, cookie-based persistence is enabled for service 80 (HTTP).
Once you specify cookie as the mode of persistence, you will be prompted for the following
parameters:
n
Cookie-based persistence mode: insert , passive or rewrite
n
Cookie name
n
Starting point of the cookie value
n
Number of bytes to be extracted
n
Look for cookie in the URI [e | d]
If you want to look for cookie name/value pair in the URI, enter e to enable this option. To
look for the cookie in the HTTP header, enter d to disable this option.
