Default value: A

lbMethod

Load balancing method for the GSLB virtual server.

Possible values: ROUNDROBIN, LEASTCONNECTION, LEASTRESPONSETIME, SOURCEIPHASH, LEASTBANDWIDTH, LEASTPACKETS, STATICPROXIMITY, RTT, CUSTOMLOAD

Default value: LEASTCONNECTION

backupLBMethod

Backup load balancing method. Becomes operational if the primary load balancing method fails or cannot be used. Valid only if the primary method is based on either round-trip time (RTT) or static proximity.

Possible values: ROUNDROBIN, LEASTCONNECTION, LEASTRESPONSETIME, SOURCEIPHASH, LEASTBANDWIDTH, LEASTPACKETS, STATICPROXIMITY, RTT, CUSTOMLOAD

netmask

IPv4 network mask for use in the SOURCEIPHASH load balancing method.

Default value: 128

Minimum value: 1

Maximum value: 128

tolerance

Site selection tolerance, in milliseconds, for implementing the RTT load balancing method. If a site's RTT deviates from the lowest RTT by more than the specified tolerance, the site is not considered when the NetScaler appliance makes a GSLB decision. The appliance implements the round robin method of global server load balancing between sites whose RTT values are within the specified tolerance. If the tolerance is 0 (zero), the appliance always sends clients the IP address of the site with the lowest RTT.

Minimum value: 0

Maximum value: 100

After the load balancing method selects a service for the first packet, the IP address received in response to the DNS query is used for subsequent requests from the same client.

Possible values: SOURCEIP, NONE

Do not specify a spillover threshold for this setting, because the threshold is implied by the Max Clients settings of the bound GSLB services.

  • BANDWIDTH - Spillover occurs when the bandwidth consumed by the GSLB virtual server's incoming and outgoing traffic exceeds the threshold.
