Attach pool members

This guide will walk you through the process of adding members to a pool in your Load Balancer. The administrative interface supports two ways of adding members:

• Via Instances: Members are specific virtual machines or servers.

• Via IP Addresses: Members are public IP addresses or IP addresses within the Load Balancer's subnet.

1. Attaching/Updating Members as Available Instances

1. Access the Load Balancer Homepage: Go to https://hcm-3.console.vngcloud.vn/vserver/load-balancer/vlb.

2. Select Your Load Balancer and Pool: Click on the Load Balancer you want to configure, then select the "Pool" tab. In the pool list, click on the pool you want to attach/edit members to.

3. Edit Pool Members: In the pool details on the left, scroll down to the "Member Information" section and click "Edit Pool Members."

4. Available Instances: The "Available Instances" section will display a list of backend servers available within the Load Balancer's subnet.

5. Select Instances: Choose the instances you want to add as pool members.

6. Configure Member Details: Enter the Weight, Port, Monitor Port, and Backup Role for each selected instance.

7. Attach Members: Click "Attach" to add the backend servers as pool members.

8. Review Pool Members: Review the list of pool members in the "Attached Servers & Instances" section.

9. Save Changes: Click "Save" to finalize the pool member edits.

2. Attaching/Updating Members as IP Addresses

In addition to attaching pool members through backend servers, you can also attach IP addresses as pool members. Follow these steps:

1. Access the Load Balancer Homepage: Go to https://hcm-3.console.vngcloud.vn/vserver/load-balancer/vlb.

2. Select Your Load Balancer and Pool: Click on the Load Balancer you want to configure, then select the "Pool" tab. In the pool list, click on the pool you want to attach/edit members to.

3. Edit Pool Members: In the pool details on the left, scroll down to the "Member Information" section and click "Edit Pool Members."

4. Custom Instances: In the "Custom Instances" section, follow these steps to attach IP addresses to the pool:

   1. Enter IP Addresses: The IP addresses must be either public IPs or belong to the Load Balancer subnet.

   2. Click "Add": Add the IP addresses to the Custom Instance list.

   3. Select IP Addresses: Choose the IP addresses you want to attach from the Custom Instance list.

   4. Configure Member Details: Enter the Weight, Port, Monitor Port, and Backup Role for each selected IP address.

   5. Click "Attach": Attach the IP addresses as pool members.

   6. Review Pool Members: Review the list of pool members in the "Attached Servers & Instances" section.

   7. Save Changes: Click "Save" to finalize the pool member edits.

Important Notes:

• Available Instances: The list of available instances will only show servers that are in the same subnet as the Load Balancer.

• IP Addresses: Ensure that the IP addresses you enter are valid and accessible.
