DSR Health Checks
Direct Server Return (DSR) health checks are used to verify the existence of a server-provided
service where the server replies directly back to the client without responding through the vir-
tual server IP address. In this configuration, the server will be configured with a real server IP
address and virtual server IP address. The virtual server IP address is configured to be the same
address as the user's virtual server IP address. When DSR health checks are selected, the spec-
ified health check is sent originating from one of the switch's configured IP interfaces, and is
destined to the virtual server IP address with the MAC address that was acquired from the real
server IP address's Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entry.
Web OS 10.0 allows you to perform health checks for DSR configurations. For more informa-

urations. To perform this function, the real server IP address is replaced with the virtual server
IP address in the health check packets that are forwarded to the real servers for health check-
ing. With this feature enabled, the health check will fail if the real server is not properly config-
ured with the virtual server IP address.
