config global-load-balance data-center
Use this command to create data center configurations that you associate with the server configurations for local FortiADCs. The data center configuration sets key properties: Location and/or ISP and ISP province. These properties are keys in the global load balancing algorithm that selects the FortiADC in closest proximity to the client.
The system includes the FortiGuard geolocation database and predefined ISP address books that you use in the configuration.
Before you begin:
- If you want to specify a user-defined ISP address book, you must create it before using this command.
- You must have read-write permission for global load balancing settings.
After you have created a data center configuration object, you can specify it in the global load balance servers configuration.
