Alibaba Cloud ACP-Cloud1 Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

When forwarding layer 7 (HTTP) requests, Alibaba Cloud SLB preserves the client’s real IP address by including it in the X-Forwarded-For header. This allows the backend ECS instance to access the client’s actual IP rather than the SLB’s IP address. This practice is common for maintaining accurate client IP information in HTTP forwarding scenarios.

Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is a load balancing mode that assigns requests to backend ECS instances based on their weights. The higher the weight of the backend ECS instance, the higher the chance that the instance will receive requests. This mode can exploit the different service capacities of backend ECS instances by setting higher weights to ECS instances with higher capacities. For example, if there are two ECS instances in the backend server pool, one with a weight of 10 and the other with a weight of 20, the ECS instance with a weight of 20 will receive twice as many requests as the ECS instance with a weight of 10.

Modifying the MAC address of an ECS instance’s NIC can cause network disconnection issues because Alibaba Cloud's VPC network infrastructure relies on consistent NIC configuration. Changing the MAC address may prevent the instance from being identified correctly on the network.
