Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeHandlingPriority

Sets the host priority of a port rule for a specific Network Load Balancing (NLB) node.

Description

The Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeHandlingPriority cmdlet sets the host priority of a port rule for a specific Network Load Balancing (NLB) node. The host priority specifies a unique identifier (ID) for each node. The node with the lowest numerical priority among the current members of the cluster handles all of the network traffic on the cluster that is not covered by a port rule. You can override these priorities or provide load balancing for specific ranges of ports by specifying rules. If a new node joins the cluster and its priority conflicts with another node in the cluster, then the node is not accepted as part of the cluster. The rest of the cluster continues to handle the traffic.

This operation changes the configuration on all cluster nodes. As a result, the NLB cluster restarts the convergence process on all nodes to guarantee that configuration changes have been applied on all nodes and that a consistent state is reached. Any additional operations on the NLB cluster are not initiated until all cluster nodes have completed the convergence process and are back to the converged state.

Examples

Example 1: Change the handling priority of a given port rule

PS C:\>Get-NlbClusterNode -NodeName "Node001" | Get-NlbClusterPortRule | Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeHandlingPriority -HandlingPriority 3
IPAddress State     Start     End       Protocol  Mode      Affinity  Timeout 
--------- -----     -----     ---       --------  ----      --------  ------- 
All       Enabled   0         65535     Both      Single

This command changes the handling priority of the given port rule for the node named Node001 to 3. This is applicable for port rules with Single mode.

Example 2: Change the handling priority of a given port rule

PS C:\>Set-NlbClusterPortRuleNodeHandlingPriority -HostName "Node002" -Interface "Vlan-3" -IP 255.255.255.255 -Port 80 -HandlingPriority 4
IPAddress State     Start     End       Protocol  Mode      Affinity  Timeout 
--------- -----     -----     ---       --------  ----      --------  ------- 
All       Enabled   0         65535     Both      Single

This command changes the handling priority of the given port rule for the node named Node001 to 4. This is applicable for port rules with Single mode.

Parameters

-HandlingPriority

Specifies the handling priority for the cluster node. This is only applicable when the filtering mode of the port rule is Single host.

Type:Int32
Aliases:HP
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-HostName

Specifies the name of the cluster host against which this cmdlet is run. If this parameter is omitted or a value of . is entered, then the local cluster is assumed.

Type:String
Aliases:Host, HN, H
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:False
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InputObject

Specifies the cluster port rule on which this cmdlet set the handling priority. This is only applicable when the filtering mode for the port rule is Single host.

Type:PortRule[]
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:True
Accept wildcard characters:False

-InterfaceName

Specifies the interface to which NLB is bound. This is the interface of the cluster against which this cmdlet is run.

Type:String
Aliases:Interface, IN, I
Position:Named
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False

-IP

Specifies the IP address for the cluster port rule on which this cmdlet sets the handling priority.

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

-Port

Specifies a port number within the port rule on which this cmdlet sets the node handling priority. The acceptable values for this parameter are:0 through 65535.

Type:UInt32
Aliases:P
Position:0
Default value:None
Required:True
Accept pipeline input:False
Accept wildcard characters:False
