Activating Server Load Balancing Services

Use the Activation tab to activate and suspend services for server load balancers. 

You can save your device configuration changes, as well as view server load 

balancers and service properties. For information on viewing only, see 

Viewing 

Provisioned Devices, page 5 7

.

Note

You must provide device credentials for the server load balancers before you can 

view them. For information about setting credentials see 

Entering Device 

Credentials, page 4 3

.

Use this option to change status on the following server load balancers:

Content Services Switch (CSS)

When you activate a service, it puts it into the resource pool for 

load balancing content requests and starts the keepalive function.

When you suspend a service, it removes it from the pool for future 

load balancing content requests. Suspending a service does not affect 

existing content flows, but it prevents additional connections from accessing 

the service for its content.

When you activate a content rule, it enables the CSS to provide access to the 

content. 

When you suspend a content rule, it deactivates it. The CSS can no longer 

provide access to the content. This does not affect existing flows to the 

content.
