addr-type | Only IPv4 is supported. |
persistence | Specify a persistence configuration. Optional. |
proximity-route | • enable—The system uses the proximity route logic and configuration when determining routes. • disable—The system does not use the proximity route configuration. |
route-method | • consistent-hash-ip: Selects the gateway link based on a hash of the source IP address. • least-connection: Dispatches new connections to the link member with the lowest number of connections. • least-new-cps: Dispatches new connections to the link member that has the lowest rate of new connections per second. • least-throughput-all: Dispatches new connections to the link member with the least total traffic (that is, inbound plus outbound). • least-throughput-in: Dispatches new connections to the link member with the least inbound traffic. • least-throughput-out: Dispatches new connections to the link member with the least outbound traffic. • spillover-throughput-all: Spillover list based on total traffic (that is, inbound plus outbound). • spillover-throughput-in: Spillover list based on inbound traffic. • spillover-throughput-out: Dispatches new connections according to the spillover list based on outbound traffic. • wrr: Dispatches new connections to link members using a weighted round-robin method. This is the default. |
config link member | |
backup | • enable—Designate the link as a backup member of the group. All backup members are inactive until all main members are down. • disable—Designate the link as a main member of the group. |
gateway | Specify a gateway configuration object. |
spillover-priority | Assigns a priority to the link when using a spillover load balancing method. Higher values have greater priority. When a spillover method is enabled, the system dispatches new connections to the link that has the greatest spillover priority until its threshold is exceeded; then it dispatches new connections to the link with the next greatest priority until its threshold is exceeded, and so on. If multiple links in a link group have the same spillover priority, the system dispatches new connections among those links according to round robin. The default is 0. The valid range is 0-9. |
status | • enable—The member is considered available for new traffic. • disable—The member is considered unavailable for new traffic. |
weight | Assigns relative preference among members—higher values are more preferred and are assigned connections more frequently. The default is 1. The valid range is 1 to 255. All load balancing methods consider weight, except spillover, which uses its own priority configuration. Servers are dispatched requests proportional to their weight, relative to the sum of all weights. The following example shows the effect of weight on WRR: Sever A, Weight 2; Server B, Weight 1: Requests are sent AABAAB. Sever A, Weight 3; Server B, Weight 2: Requests are sent AABAB. For other methods, weight functions as a tie-breaker. For example, with the Least Connection algorithm, requests are sent to the server with the least connections. If the number of connections is equal, the request is sent to the server with the greater weight. For example: Server A, Weight 1, 1 connection Server B, Weight 2, 1 connection The next request is sent to Server B. |
