ACE 4710 Stickiness Configuration

allen.malanda_2 · ‎01-01-2009

We have the ACE 4710 Ver. A3(2.0) configured and the load balancing is working fine. But we are having problem to keep a user session on one web server. The website is running on IIS, and it's created using ASP.NET. The user session is bouncing between the two load balancing servers. How can we configure stickiness to solve this issue? Or, what are the recommend solutions?

Here is an example of a sticky config. This will sticky on source address.

sticky ip-netmask 255.255.255.255 address source WebSeal_Sticky

replicate sticky

serverfarm WebSeal_Farm

Then apply it-

policy-map type loadbalance first-match WebSeal-Virtual-Server-l7slb

class class-default

sticky-serverfarm WebSeal_Sticky

policy-map type loadbalance first-match WebSeal_HTTPS-l7slb

class class-default

sticky-serverfarm WebSeal_Sticky

Also check out the configuration guide.
