Configuring SLB Probes

Modifying the Probe Retries

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
user-configured probe name, the probe type, retries, and the user-specified number of retries.
Note. See "Creating SLB Probes" on page 44-32
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

Configuring a Probe User Name

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 ip slb probe username
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

Configuring a Probe Password

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

Configuring a Probe URL

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

Modifying the Probe Status

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
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
