How to set Type Host and Type Standard on a Virtual Server

Hi folks,

 

 

I'd like to change the Destiation Type and the Configuration Type on a Virtual Server. E.g. to HOST or to Standard, but I don't know what Interfaces to use. Are there any???

 

Maybe someone can help me out.

 

 

Thanks

 

 

Ian

    The Destination type set depending on what the destination and wildmask values are. The relevant methods are LocalLB::VirtualServer::set_destination() and LocalLB::VirtualServer::set_wildmask(). For example, passing in a destination of 1.2.3.4:80 with a wildmask of 255.255.255.255 will result in a Host Virtual server. Passing in a destination of 1.2.3.0:80 with a wildmask of 255.255.255.0 will result in a Network Virtual Server.

     

     

    As for the Configuration type, this is set by the LocalLB::VirtualServer::set_type() call. In this call you can set the virtual to one of the following VirtualServerType values:

     

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_POOL - The virtual server is based on a pool.

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_IP_FORWARDING - The virtual server only supports IP forwarding. There is no load balancing on this type of virtual server.

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_L2_FORWARDING - The virtual server only supports L2 forwarding. There is no load balancing on this type of virtual server.

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_REJECT - All connections going to this virtual server will be rejected, and resets will be sent.

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_FAST_L4 - The virtual server is based on the Fast L4 profile.

     

    RESOURCE_TYPE_FAST_HTTP - The virtual server is based on the Fast HTTP profile.

     

     

    I believe that RESOURCE_TYPE_POOL equates to "Standard".
