Understanding Binding

You can configure your SLB by using binding. Binding allows certain 

applications or servers to be load balanced at a higher level than generic 

applications or less critical servers. See the following for details on how to bind:

Binding CSS Services

On CSS, service binding adds a service to a content rule. 

Procedure

Step 1

From the content rule properties form, click Service Binding. The Service 

Bindings form appears.

Step 2

To add services to the content rule or remove services from a content rule, move 

the service name in or out of the Bound Services column, then click Continue. 

The Modify Service Binding Weights form appears.

Step 3

Select a weight from 1 through 10, then click Save. If the binding was successful, 

a confirmation window appears. If there are errors, an error message window 

appears. Resolve the errors, if necessary.

Step 4

Click OK to return to the device properties window.
