Editing a Load Balancer's Backend Set

Update the configuration of a backend set for a load balancer.

When you edit a backed set, you can select a new load balancing policy and change the SSL configuration. To change the backend set's health check policy, see Health Check Policies for Load Balancers for more information.

To add or remove backend servers from the backend set, see Backend Servers for Load Balancers for more information.

Note

Changing the load balancing policy of a backend set temporarily interrupts traffic and can drop active connections.

    1. On the Load balancers list page, find the load balancer that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the load balancer, see Listing Load Balancers.
    2. 3. In the Backend sets section, select the backend set that you want.
    3. From the Actions menu for the backend set you want, select Edit.
    4. Edit any of the following:

      • Traffic distribution policy

      • SSL

      • Session persistence

      • Max Backend Connections

      See Creating a Backend Set for more information.

    5. Select Update backend set.

  • Use the oci lb backend-set update command and required parameters to edit a load balancer's backend set:

    oci lb backend-set update --backend-set-name backend_set_name --backends backends --load-balancer-id load-balancer_id --health-checker-protocol health_checker_protocol --policy policy [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
