For each load-balanced real server, the octet counters represent the combined number of transmit and receive bytes (octets). These counters are then added to report the total octets for each virtual server.
The octet counters are provided per server, not per service.
1. Configure a separate IP address for each service on each server being load balanced.
For example, you can configure IP address 10.1.1.20 for HTTP services, and 10.1.1.21 for FTP services on the same physical server.
2. On Alteon, configure a real server with a real IP address for each service in
step 1.
Using the example from
step 1, two real servers are configured for the physical server (representing each real service). If there were five physical servers providing the two services (HTTP and FTP), 10 real servers would have to be configured: five for the HTTP services on each physical server, and five for the FTP services on each physical server.
3. On Alteon, configure one real server group for each type of service, and group each appropriate real server IP address into the group that handles the specific service.
In keeping with the example in
step 1, two groups are configured: one for handling HTTP, and one for handling FTP.
4. Configure a virtual server and add the appropriate services to that virtual server.
