So if you want to limit one or more of your real servers in a virtual server farm to a certain amount of connections you can do it with the “maxconns” command.
Login to the CSM go into config mode, go into the serverfarm you want to restrict then go into the real server. Type in […]
First you need to know what module your CSM is in, most of you know I am sure but otherwise use this at the enable prompt:
“show module”
Next you need to session into the CSM with the following command replacing the slot number with the module number you found using the command above:
“sessions slot 1 processor […]
I have been working on setting up a test for one over our load balanced webservers to be placed behind the new firewall we have installed. With putting this server behind the firewall I am also switching that webserver to use one-armed mode for load balancing.
Basically the main thing with one-armed CSM configs is that […]

Basically what this will give you is whatever partial URL you put in the match statement, when sent to your vserver will be redirected to whatever URL you put in the webhost relocation statement. In the match statement do not […]
Sometimes it is quite hard to find info on the Cisco CSM Load balancer module so as I find info I try to post here for others.

I am going to post my thoughts on the best algorithm for load balancing web servers and would like comments on others opinions on this. I am currently using a Cisco CSM to load balance numerous websites and servers. There are three main ways for the CSM to determine where to put new sessions. They […]
