config web-proxy forward-server-group

Parameter Name Description Type Size
affinity Enable/disable affinity, attaching a source-ip's traffic to the assigned forwarding server until the forward-server-affinity-timeout is reached (under web-proxy global).
enable: Enable affinity.
disable: Disable affinity.
option -
ldb-method Load balance method: weighted or least-session.
weighted: Load balance traffic to forward servers based on assigned weights. Weights are ratios of total number of sessions.
least-session: Send new sessions to the server with lowest session count.
active-passive: Send new sessions to the next active server in the list. Servers are selected with highest weight first and then in order as they are configured. Traffic switches back to the first server upon failure recovery.
option -
group-down-option Action to take when all of the servers in the forward server group are down: block sessions until at least one server is back up or pass sessions to their destination.
block: Block sessions until at least one server in the group is back up.
pass: Pass sessions to their destination bypassing servers in the forward server group.
