setDefaultLoadBalancer

Use the setDefaultLoadBalancer command to set the default device used to model routing entry points discovered from observed message traffic.

In a simple environment with only one known load-balancer, that device is automatically used as the default. If you register additional devices, use this command to set which device should be used to model routing entry points.

See Setting up Load Balancers, for a complete discussion of load balancers and how the default is set.
