Procedure
Define Load Balancer Member Settings You can define an on-demand NSX load balancer component to distribute task processing among provisioned vSphere member machines or container machines in a network.
Define Virtual Server General Settings You can define a single virtual server protocol and port for your load balancer or you can add additional virtual servers to customize additional NSX load balancer options.
Define Virtual Server Distribution Settings By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can specify information about the pool members such as the port on which the members receive traffic, the protocol type that the NSX load balancer can use for accessing that port, the algorithm used for load balancing, and persistence settings.
Define Virtual Server Health Check Settings By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can specify how, or if, the NSX load balancer performs health checks on pool members within the virtual server.
Define Virtual Server Advanced Settings By selecting the Customize option on the General tab, you can customize the NSX load balancer component to specify settings such as the number of concurrent connections that a single pool member can recognize and the maximum number of concurrent connections that the virtual server can process.
Define Load Balancer Logging Options You can define the types of load balancer logging actions that are captured and recorded in the load balancer logs.
