Configuring SLB Probes

To associate an existing SLB probe with a server use the 

 command by 

entering ip slb server ip followed by IP address of the server, cluster, the user-configured cluster name, 
probe, and the user-configured probe name.

For example, to associate a probe called “server_probe1” with a server with an IP address of 
10.255.11.127 that belongs to a cluster called “WorldWideWeb”, enter:

-> ip slb server ip 10.255.11.127 cluster WorldWideWeb probe server_probe1

The following subsections describe how to modify existing SLB probes.

By default, the timeout used to wait for SLB probe answers is 3000 seconds. To modify this value from 1 
to 3600000 seconds use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe followed by the 

user-configured probe name, the probe type, timeout, and the user-specified timeout value.

Note. See 

 for a list of valid probe types.

For example, to set the timeout for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to 12000 seconds, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http timeout 12000

By default, the SLB probe period to check the health of servers is 60 seconds. To modify this value from 0 
to 3600 seconds use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe followed by the user-

configured probe name, the probe type, period, and the user-specified period value.

Note. See 

 for a list of valid probe types.

For example, to set the period for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to 120 seconds, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http period 120

By default, the TCP/UDP port the SLB probe should be sent on is 0. To modify this value from 0 to 65535 
use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe followed by the user-configured probe name, 

the probe type, port, and the user-specified port number.

Note. See 

 for a list of valid probe types.

For example, to set the TCP/UDP port for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to 200 enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http port 200
