Creating a listener

The last step in creating a function load balancer is to create the listener. Using the neutron lbaas-listener-create command, create a listener with the following attributes:

• Name: LISTENER_WEB
• Port: 80
• Protocol: HTTP
• Pool: POOL_WEB

Multiple listeners can be created for each load balancer, allowing users to balance traffic for multiple protocols and applications on the same Virtual IP.
