Server Load Balancing Commands ip slb cluster
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide March 2011 page 20-5
ip slb cluster
Configures a Server Load Balancing (SLB) cluster on a switch.
ip slb cluster name {vip ip_address | condition string} [l3 | l2]
no ip slb cluster name
Syntax Definitions
name The name of the Server Load Balancing (SLB) cluster. The name can
consist a maximum of 23 characters. Names with spaces must be
enclosed within quotation marks (for example, “mail server”).
ip_address The Virtual IP (VIP) address for the Server Load Balancing cluster.
This IP address must be in dotted decimal format.
string The name of an existing QoS policy condition that identifies the Server
Load Balancing cluster
.
l3 Specifies Layer 3 Server Load Balancing mode. The source and
destination MAC and TTL of each packet is modified before the packet
is bridged or routed to the server.
l2 Specifies Layer 2 Server Load Balancing mode. Packets are not
modified before they are bridged to the server. This parameter is only
available when using the
condition parameter.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a Server Load Balancing cluster.
•
Once a cluster is created, the Virtual IP or condition cannot be modified. To modify these values,
delete the cluster and re-create the cluster with the different VIP and conditions.
•
The VIP address of the SLB cluster must be an address that is in the same subnet as the servers.
•
Specifying the l3 parameter when configuring a VIP cluster is not required. VIP clusters only use the
Layer-3 mode to route traffic to the servers. Layer-2 mode is not supported with this type of cluster.
•
The QoS policy condition must exist before it is assigned to an SLB cluster. Use the policy condition
command to create the QoS policy condition. See the “QoS Policy Commands” chapter for more
information.
