Uses the client IP address
no load-balancer-hash-header
Parameters
header Specifies the name of the HTTP header.
Guidelines
The load-balancer-hash-header command identifies the HTTP header to use for
calculating the hash for load balancing traffic to the backend servers.
v
When defined, the hash algorithm uses the value of the identified HTTP header.
v
When not defined, the hash algorithm uses the IP address of the client.
This command is relevant only when the value defined by the algorithm command
in Load Balancer configuration mode is hash .
Use the no load-balancer-hash-header command to disable the use of an HTTP
header as the hash algorithm to use for load balancing.
Related Commands
algorithm
Examples
v
Disables the use of an HTTP header for load balancing (uses the IP address to
calculate the hash). Subsequently, enables load balancing traffic to the backend
servers using a hash algorithm identified by the
X-Forwarded-For
HTTP header.

#
loop-detection
Enables or disables the loop detection algorithm.
Syntax
Enables the loop detection algorithm
loop-detection
Disables the loop detection algorithm
no loop-detection
Guidelines
Some protocols provide a loop detection mechanism that can be used to detect
network loops. This is a good policy, but it can cause each proxy to be publicly
recorded in the transmitted message, which might be considered an information
leak.
By default, the loop detection algorithm is disabled.
max-message-size
Specifies the maximum size of an XML document to accept.
