Weight

The sum of the weights of all servers 

bound to this server. Higher values 

indicate higher availability for the 

server to do work. 

Maximum Connections

the real server is assigned. 

If the maximum number of 

connections is reached, IOS SLB

connection requests to another server 

until the connection number drops 

below the specified limit.

Reassign

The threshold of consecutive 

unanswered synchronizations that, if 

exceeded, results in an attempted 

connection to a different real server.

Retry

The interval, in seconds, to wait 

between the detection of a server 

failure and the next attempt to connect 

to the failed server.

Failure Detection Connections

The threshold value of failed 

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) 

connection attempts to a real server 

before it is taken out of service.

Failure Detection Clients

A threshold value in the range from 1 

to 255. The default is 8 connection
