Description

The New-SCLoadBalancerVIP cmdlet creates a load balancer virtual IP (VIP) on a load balancer.

Examples

Example 1: Create a load balancer virtual IP

PS C:\> $LBProtocol = New-SCLoadBalancerProtocol -Name "HTTPS" -HTTPSCertificateSubjectName "C=US,ST=WA,L=Redmond,O=Contoso,OU=Test,CN=www.contoso.com/emailAddress=contoso@contoso.com" -HTTPSReencryptConnection $True -TerminateHTTPS $True
PS C:\> $LBConnectionPersistence = New-SCLoadBalancerConnectionPersistence -Name "SourceIP" -Value "255.255.255.0"
PS C:\> $LBHealthMonitor = New-SCLoadBalancerHealthMonitor -Name "HTTPMonitor" -Request "Get /Index.html HTTP/1.1" -Response 200 -IntervalSeconds 5 -TimeoutSeconds 2 -ProtocolName "HTTPS"
PS C:\> $LBMethod = New-SCLoadBalancingMethod -Name "LeastConnections"
PS C:\> $LoadBalancer = Get-SCLoadBalancer -LoadBalancerAddress "LB01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> New-SCLoadBalancerVIP -Name "LoadBalancerVIP01" -IPAddress 10.0.0.1 -LoadBalancer $LoadBalancer -LoadBalancerConnectionPersistence $LBConnectionPersistence -LoadBalancerProtocol $LBProtocol -LoadBalancingMethod $LBMethod -LoadBalancerHealthMonitor $LBHealthMonitor -LoadBalancerPort 80

The first command creates a load balancer protocol object and stores the object in the $LBProtocol variable.

The second command creates a load balancer connection persistence object and stores the object in the $LBConnectionPersistence variable.

The third command creates a load balancer health monitor object and stores the object in the $LBHealthMonitor variable.

The fourth command creates a load balancing method object and stores the object in the $LBMethod variable.

The fifth command gets the load balancer object with the address LB01.Contoso.com and stores the object in the $LoadBalancer variable.

The last command creates a load balancer VIP named LoadBalancerVIP01 using the load balancer stored in $LoadBalancer and the objects created in the previous commands.

Parameters

-BackEndVirtualNetworkAdapters

Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-LoadBalancerVIPTemplate

Specifies a load balancer VIP template.

Type:LoadBalancerVIPTemplate
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-LoadBalancingMethod

Specifies the load balancing method to use. Valid values are:

  • RoundRobin

  • Predictivemember
  • Ratiomember
  • Fastestmember
  • LeastConnections
  • Observednode
