Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6

2

This command changes the GSLB policy to the following:

The health check results

The session capacity threshold (capacity) of the site ADX device

The available session capacity threshold (num-session) of the site ADX device

The FlashBack speed of the site ADX device

The least response selection (the site ADX device that has been selected less often than
others)

Two of the metrics, server health and geographic location, are not specified. As a result, these
metrics are not used when evaluating site IP addresses in the DNS responses.

Syntax: [no] metric-order set list

The list parameter is a list of the metrics you want to use, in the order you want the GSLB Brocade
Virtual ADX to use them. The GSLB uses the metrics in the order you specify them. You can specify
one or more of the following:

active bindings: The Brocade Virtual ADX’s preference for the IP address with the highest
number of active bindings.

capacity: The session capacity threshold of the site ADX device.

flashback: The FlashBack speed (how quickly the GSLB receives the health check results) of
the site ADX device.

geographic: The geographic location of the server.

health-check: The Layer 4 and application health checks.

num-session: The available session capacity of the site ADX device.

preference: The administratively configured preference for the site ADX device.

weighted ip: The administratively configured traffic distribution method for the Brocade Virtual
ADX.

weighted site: The administratively configured traffic distribution method for the Brocade
Virtual ADX.

There are no parameters for the least response selection or round robin selection metrics. These
metrics are tie-breakers. Only one of them is enabled at a time and the one that is enabled is
always the last metric in the policy.

Resetting GSLB policy metrics

To reset the order of the GSLB policy metrics to the default (and also re-enable all disabled
metrics), enter the following command.

Virtual ADX(config-gslb-policy)#metric-order default

Syntax: metric-order default

The no metric-order set command also resets the order and re-enables all disabled metrics. This
command is equivalent to the metric-order default command.

To display the GSLB policy after you change it, enter the show gslb policy command. Refer to

“Displaying user-configured GSLB policy”
