Configuring an HTTP Probe

An HTTP probe establishes an HTTP connection to a real server and then sends an HTTP request and
verifies the response. The probe probe-name http command places the user in HTTP probe
configuration submode.
To configure an HTTP probe, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config-module-csm)# probe
probe-name http
Step 2
Router(config-slb-probe-http)#
credentials username [ password ]
Step 3
Router(config-slb-probe-http)# expect
status min-number [ max-number ]
