The status of a server is used by OpenSwitch only when an incoming connection is established or when a server is needed for failover. Therefore, changing the state of a server where existing connections have already been established has no effect on the connections. For example, after issuing the following statement, any existing connections to SERVER3 remain connected. However, new connections to OpenSwitch are no longer routed to SERVER3.
rp_server_status "SERVER3", "DOWN"
