Example Basic IP load balancing configuration

Example Basic IP load balancing configuration

This example shows how to add a server load balancing virtual IP that load balances all traffic among 3 real servers. In the example the Internet is connected to port2 and the virtual IP address of the virtual server is 192.168.20.20. The load balancing method is weighted. The IP addresses of the real servers are 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, and 10.10.10.3. The weights for the real servers are 1, 2, and 3. The default weight is 1 and does not have to be changed for the first real server.
