By default, the number of SLB probe retries before deciding that a server is out of service is 3. To modify 
this value from 0 to 255 use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe followed by the 

user-configured probe name, the probe type, retries, and the user-specified number of retries.

Note. See 

 for a list of valid probe types.

For example, to set the number of retries for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to 10, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http retries 10

To configure a user name sent to a server as credentials for an HTTP GET operation to verify the health of 
the server use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe followed by the user-config-

ured probe name, either http or https, username, and the user-specified user name.

For example, to set the user name for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to “subnet1”, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http username subnet1

To configure a password sent to a server as credentials for an HTTP GET to verify the health of the server 
use the 

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

name, either http or https, password, and the user-specified password.

For example, to set the password for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to “h1f45xc” enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http password h1f45xc

To configure a URL sent to a server for an HTTP GET to verify the health of the server use the 

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

https, url, and the user-specified URL.

Note. The URL should be the relative web page name to be retrieved.

For example, to set the URL for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to “pub/index.html”, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http url pub/index.html

By default, the expected status returned from an HTTP GET to verify the health of a server is 200. To 
modify this value from 0 to 4294967295 use the 

 command by entering ip slb probe 

followed by the user-configured probe name, either http or https, status, and the user-specified expected 
status.

For example, to set the expected status for an HTTP SLB probe called “server_probe1” to 404, enter:

-> ip slb probe server_probe1 http status 404
