OmniSwitch AOS Release 6 Network Configuration Guide

Server Load Balancing (SLB) probes allow you to check the health of logical clusters and physical 
servers. Supported features include:

• Support for server health monitoring using Ethernet link state detection

• Support for server health monitoring using IPv4 ICMP ping

• Support for server health monitoring using a Content Verification Probe

To create an SLB probe use the 

 command by entering the command followed by the user-

configured probe name and the probe type, which can be any one of the following listed in the table 
below:

For example, to create an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1”, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http

You can configure up to 20 probes on a switch.

To delete an SLB use the no form of the 

 command by entering no ip slb probe followed by 

the probe name. For example, to delete an SLB probe called “server_probe1”, enter:

-> no ip slb probe server_probe1

To associate an existing SLB probe with a cluster use the 

 command by entering ip slb 

cluster followed by the user-configured cluster name, probe, and the user-configured probe name.

For example, to associate a probe called “cluster_probe1” with a cluster called “WorldWideWeb”, enter:

-> ip slb cluster WorldWideWeb probe cluster_probe1
