When a server member is in an active state, the switch can access the server. An active status does not necessarily mean that the server member participates as a target in the load distribution. Whether the server member actually participates in the load distribution depends on various factors, including whether the following conditions are met:
The client network to the switch is set up properly.
The network interfaces in the clients are up.
Each client has a proper route entry for the VIP.
Each server has a proper loopback interface (for example, lo0:1) entry for the VIP.
If all of these conditions are satisfied, client traffic will be distributed to the active servers. Which active servers receive the traffic depends on the traffic distribution hash policy used.
If a server member is shown to be inan idle state, the server member is not reachable from the switch. In this case, ensure that the server network to the switch is properly set up and that the network interface in the server is up.
