Setting Server Status
It may become necessary at times to prevent new sessions from being directed to one or
more load balancing servers. For example, if you need to perform maintenance tasks on a
server system, you might want new sessions to temporarily not be directed to that server.

server. The “down” status does not affect any current sessions on the server. When the
server is again ready to accept new sessions, you can set the server status to “up.”
To set the status of a load balancing server, enter the following command in Enable mode:

To define an FTP control port (other than port 21) to the load balancing function, enter the
