Changing a Backend Server Group

Scenario

This section describes how you can change the default backend server group configured for a listener.

TCP or UDP listeners forward requests to the default backend server groups.

HTTP or HTTPS listeners forward requests based on the priorities of the forwarding policies. If you do not add a forwarding policy, the listener will route the requests to the default backend server group.

Constraints and Limitations

• The backend server group cannot be changed if redirection is enabled.
• The backend protocol of the backend server group must match the frontend protocol of the listener. For details, see Table 2.
