number embedded in the cookie. Conversely, if you need to invalidate old
cookies, increment this number.
Always - When this flag is disabled Equalizer will insert a cookie if a
server was not selected based on a cookie received from the client. A
cookie would only be inserted when a new client is seen or if cookie is
received or if a cookie received cannot validate a server.
If the Always flag is enabled, Equalizer includes a cookie in the response
regardless of whether the server sent a cookie.
Source IP Parameters
The Source IP pane will expand if Source IP is moved to the Enabled pane.
Sticky Timeout
The number of seconds that Equalizer should “remember” connections
from clients) Valid values are from 0 (which disables sticky connections) to
1073741823 seconds (or over 34 years).
Sticky Netmask
Enables sticky network aggregation for a subnet. Sticky network
aggregation is applicable for Layer 4 and Layer 7 clusters. Sticky network
aggregation enables Equalizer to correctly handle sticky connections from
ISPs that use multiple proxy servers to direct user connections. When you
enable sticky network aggregation, all the connections coming from a
particular network are directed to the same server. (Typically, all the
servers in a proxy farm are on the same network.) The sticky netmask
value indicates which portion of the address Equalizer should use to
identify particular networks. Values are:
0-32 for IPV4 clusters (default=32)
0-128 for IPV6 clusters
Inter cluster Sticky
With the inter-cluster sticky option, you can configure Equalizer to direct
requests from a client to the same server on any available port that has a
current persistent connection in any cluster. Inter-Cluster Sticky is a Layer
4 or Layer7 option that allows you to extend Layer 4 or Layer 7 persistence
across multiple server ports.
Note - Inter-Cluster Sticky does not work for stickiness between a Layer 4 and a Layer 7 cluster only
between a Layer 4/Layer 4 cluster or a Layer7/Layer 7 cluster.
Note - If you are using two Equalizer in a failover configuration, you must set the sticky network aggregation
mask identically on both Equalizers.
Fallback Persistence Scenarios
The table below shows all of the possible persistence scenarios and the resulting load balancing server selections
based on the persist types and fallback persist types that are “enabled”.
