configure server default
ExtremeWarePx1 1.2 Command Reference Guide 125
configure server default
configure server default
[(max-connections <max number>) |
(weight <weight number>)]
Description
ConÞgures the global default values for server properties.
Syntax Description
Default
If this command is never used, the global default value for maximum number of connections is 10,000
and the global default value for weight is 1.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
You can use this command to change the global default values for server properties. When you
conÞgure servers without specifying the maximum number of connections, the global default for that
property is used. When you conÞgure servers without specifying the weight, the global default for that
property is used.
You must use the build command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
Example
This example sets the global default maximum number of connections to 6,000 (command 8), then
conÞgures 3 servers using this default (command 9), and conÞgures a fourth server with a maximum of
4,000 connections (command 10). These changes do not take effect until the build command (number
11) commits them.

History
This form command was available in ExtremeWarePx 1.1.
max number The global default value for the maximum number of concurrent connections a server can
handle. When a server has its maximum number of connections, no more connections are
sent to that particular server until some of its open connections have been closed.
weight number The global default value for the weight factor for servers. Weight factors are used by
weighted load-balancing algorithms.
