Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6
2
The GSLB protocol is disabled by default on site ADX devices for security.
After you enable the GSLB protocol on the site ADX devices, the GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX finds the
site ADX devices using their configured IP addresses, which you specify when you configure the
remote site information.
If you have enabled the GSLB protocol on the site ADX devices, the GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX
begins communicating with the site ADX devices using the GSLB protocol as soon as you add the
site definitions to the GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX.
Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6
Advanced configuration tasks include the configuration of GSLB policies and site persistence for
IPv6 addresses.
Advanced configuration tasks include:
• GSLB policy metrics for IPv6: GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX supports a subset of policy metrics for
load balancing of IPv6 addresses.
• Sticky persistence for IPv6: GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX supports sticky site persistence for IPv6
addresses. Refer to
“Sticky persistence for IPv6” on page 158 .
• DNS response parameters: GSLB Brocade Virtual ADX enables you to modify DNS-related
GSLB parameters to restrict the number of IP addresses in the DNS response. For more
information, refer to
“Configuring DNS response parameters” on page 161 .
Table 13 shows the advanced configuration tasks described in this section.
