traffic direction

[donaghq_2]

Is is possible to direct traffic to webserver A all the time and then have it sent to webserver B if A fails?

[Gilles Dufour]

yes, this is possible.

But if you want more detail you need to tell us which device you are talking about. CSS or CSM ?

Both can do this but they use different config.

Regards,

Gilles.

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to do this on a CSS 11050 running "ap0500605" code. Thank You.

On a CSS you need to use the command 'primarysorryserver' under the content rule.

So you create 'service serverA' and 'service serverB'

You go to your content rule and you do

owner XXXXX

content WWW

add service serverA

primarysorryserver serverB

All traffic will go to serverA unless this one is down in which case traffic will be forwarded to serverB.

How would you do the same with the CSM?

[Gilles Dufour]

For CSM

serverfarm MyPrimary

real x.x.x.x

inservice

!

serverfarm MyBackup

real x.x.x.x

inservice

!

vserver MyApp

vip x.x.x.x

serverfarm MyPrimary backup MyBackup

inservice.
