Add ruleFill in the fields and click OK. Rule NameThe rule name is the name you choose for the rule. This name can contain any alphanumeric character, underscore, hyphen, or period. It may be from 1 to 20 characters and cannot contain any blanks. TypeThe following describes all the rule types:
Affinity typeRefers to how sticky time will be applied. CBR provides cookie affinity, which allows multiple requests with the same cookie to be sent to a single server, bypassing the load balancing algorithm. (Dispatcher uses the default type of affinity that is based on the client IP address, meaning that successive requests from the same client IP address will go to the same server rather than being load balanced each time.) PriorityThe order in which the rules will be reviewed. If you do not set the priority of the first rule you add, the Dispatcher will set the priority of the rule to 1. Subsequent rules, for which no priority is specified, will be added by default with the priority of the current highest priority value + 10. This is an optional field. Begin RangeOptionally, the lower value in the range used to determine whether or not the rule is true. If you are adding a rule based on:
