Basic GSLB for IPv6 configuration

Configuring sites
The GSLB protocol is disabled by default. You must enable the GSLB protocol on each site Brocade
Virtual ADX. After you enable the GSLB protocol, the GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX finds the site
Brocade Virtual ADXs using their IP management addresses, which you specify when you configure
the remote site information.
When you create a site, you give it a name and identify the Brocade Virtual ADXs in it. (You can also
specify the administrative preference for site Brocade Virtual ADXs. Refer to
“Administrative
preference metric” on page 156.)
To configure the server sites shown in Figure 7 on page 130, enter commands such as the
following.
Virtual ADX(config)#gslb site US
Virtual ADX(config-gslb-site-US)#si-name slb-1 10.157.22.206
Virtual ADX(config)#gslb site EU
Virtual ADX(config-gslb-site-EU)#si-name slb-1 10.108.22.114
These commands configure two GSLB sites: one in the United States (US), the other in Europe (EU).
Each site contain one Brocade Virtual ADX (a site Brocade Virtual ADX) that load balances traffic
across server farms.
Syntax: [no] gslb site name
The name parameter is a text string that uniquely identifies the site on the GSLB Brocade Virtual
ADX. You can enter a string up to 16 characters long. The string can contain blanks. To use blanks,
enclose the string in quotation marks.
Syntax: [no] si-name [name] ip-addr [preference]
The si-name name parameter specifies a unique name for the Brocade Virtual ADX at the site. You
can enter a string up to 16 characters long. The string can contain blanks. To use blanks, enclose
the string in quotation marks. You can enter up to four pairs of Brocade Virtual ADX names and IP
addresses on the same command line. The name parameter is optional.
The ip-addr parameter specifies whether the remote site runs on the switch code or router code. If
the remote site runs the switch code, enter the ip address configured on the site Brocade Virtual
ADX. If it runs the router code, then enter the VE IP address on the site Brocade Virtual ADX.
In both cases, you must not enter a virtual IP address (VIP) configured on the Brocade Virtual ADX.
NOTE
Only IPV4 addresses are supported for site Brocade Virtual ADXs. All communication between the
GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX and the site Brocade Virtual ADX is on IPv4.
