Server Commands

In the server context, you define a real server using a minimal set of parameters (IP address, port, protocol, etc.). Once defined, a real server can then be associated with one or more server pools, which in turn are associated with one or more Layer 4 clusters or Layer 7 match rules.

Using Server commands in the global context:

Using Server Commands in the Global Context
eqcli > server svname req_cmds	:	Create svname (req_cmds = * commands below)
eqcli > server svname cmds	:	Modify svname (cmds = any commands below)
eqcli > no server svname	:	Delete svname
eqcli > show server [svname]	:	Display all servers or svname
eqcli > server svname	:	Change to the “sv-svname” context(see below)

Using Server commands in a Server specific context:

Using Server Commands in a Server Specific Context
eqcli sv-svname> ip ip_addr*	:	Server IP address
eqcli sv-svname> no {max_reuse_conn\|reuse_conn_to}	:	Reset the parameter to its default value
eqcli sv-svname> proto {tcp\|udp}*	:	Server protocol
eqcli sv-svname> port integer*	:	Server port
eqcli sv-svname> show	:	Show server configuration
eqcli sv-svname> stats	:	Display server statistics
eqcli sv-svname> flags [!]probe_l3	:	Server flags
eqcli sv-svname> max_reuse_conn integer	:	Maximum number of connections to this server
eqcli sv-svname> reuse_conn_to integer	:	Timeout for connection re-use
eqcli sv-svanme> uuiduuidname	:	Associate a virtual machine with the server.
eqcli sv-svanme> vlb_manager vlbmgrname	:	Attach a VLB Manager for the associated virtual machine.
eqcli sv-svanme> vms	:	List all the virtual machines from the VLB Manager.

The max_reuse_conn and reuse_conn_to are used to set operating parameters for HTTP multiplexing. HTTP multiplexing is disabled by default, and is turned on/off using the tcp_mux cluster flag. Refer to HTTP Multiplexing for additional information.
