To configure a Virtual Service to use content switching, follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to the relevant LoadMaster WUI.
  2. In the main menu, select Virtual Services and View/Modify Services.

  3. Click Modify on the relevant Virtual Service.
  4. Expand the Standard Options section.

  5. Select None in the Persistence Options drop-down menu.
  6. Expand the Advanced Properties section.

  7. Click Enable in the Content Switching row.

    Note: The enable button is only available if there is a Real Server set up on this Virtual Service.
    Note: If you exit the Virtual Service modify screen without adding a content rule to a Real Server, you will need to re-enable Content Switching.
  8. Expand the Real Servers section.
    Note: There is a column called Rules. Content switching has just been enabled so no rules are active.
  9. Click the None button.
  10. Select the relevant rule in the drop-down list and click Add.
Note: The maximum number of content rules that a LoadMaster can have is 1024. There is no limit on a per-Real Server basis regarding how many of these rules can be assigned.

The rule is added to the Real Server. Multiple rules can be added to each Real Server.
