     • Specify a load balancing policy: Select a different policy from the following:

       • 5-Tuple hash: This policy distributes incoming traffic based on 5-Tuple (source IP and port, destination IP and port, protocol) hash.

       • 3-Tuple hash: This policy ensures that requests from a particular client are always directed to the same backend server based on 3-Tuple (source IP, destination IP, protocol) hash.

       • 2-Tuple hash: This policy routes incoming traffic to the same backend server based on 2-Tuple (source/destination) hash.

     • Preserve source IP: Check to preserve the header information (IP addresses and ports) of incoming packets all the way to the backend server. Clear to disable this feature.
  9. Click Save changes.
