Field Description

Weight

The weighting value for the virtual 

server predictor algorithm. Higher 

values indicate higher availability for 

the server to do work. 

Maximum Connections

The threshold value for the maximum 

number of active connections that the 

real server is assigned. 

If the maximum number of 

connections is reached, IOS SLB 

automatically switches all further 

connection requests to another server 

until the connection number drops 

below the specified limit.

Minimum Connections

The threshold value for the minimum 

number of active connections that the 

real server is assigned. (This will not 

appear for CSM 3.x or later versions.)

Redirect Virtual Server

The virtual servers dedicated to real 

servers. 

This mapping provides connection 

persistence for clients to real servers 

across TCP sessions. (This will not 

appear for CSM 3.x or later versions.)

CSM 3.x or Later Probes

Configuring probes to the real servers allows you to determine if the real servers
