rename <SLB string ID SLB string>
 
Renames the SLB string for content-based load balancing server selection.
addmeth <Method, 1-32 characters>

Removes an HTTP method.
case disable|enable
 
Enables or disables case sensitivity for string matching.
Values:
*enable — Enables case sensitivity for string matching.
*disable — If you disable case sensitivity, all load balancing strings and all the request strings need to be converted to lowercase before doing any string comparison.
cont <SLB string ID [1-1024]> <BW contract number [1-1024]>
 
Sets the Bandwidth Management contract for a specified string for the SLB string ID.
cur
 
Displays the currently configured SLB strings and their associated string IDs (index numbers) and the supported HTTP request methods.
