Hi,

 

Topology load balancing distributes DNS name resolution requests based on the proximity of the client to the datacenter that responds to the request. When Topology load balancing is enabled, GTM system uses topology records to make load balancing decisions.

 

Below are the steps to do topology based LB method.

 

1) Creation of regions eg : Region_1 and Region_2

 

2) Creation of pool : Pool_1 and POol_2

 

3) Creation of Records : Assign the region, pool and weight.

 

4) Creation of WIDE Ip with topology based load balancing.
