Displaying GSLB information

1

In this example, ServerIron ADX slb-1 is the active ServerIron ADX for VIPs 209.157.22.100 and 109.157.22.101 and ServerIron ADX slb-2 is the default active ServerIron ADX for VIPs 209.157.22.103 and 209.157.22.104. Although this example has both VIPs for a host active on the same ServerIron ADX, you can just as easily configure the VIPs so that both ServerIron ADXs have active VIPs for the same host.

NOTE

This example does not show the information for the atlanta site.

The text shown in bold type in the example is the information that is not displayed by the show gslb dns zone command

Syntax: show gslb dns detail [<name>]

The <name> parameter specifies a zone name.

TABLE 12	Global SLB zone and host application information

This field...		Displays...

site		Indicates the site name of the ServerIron ADX.

ServerIron		Indicates the site ServerIron ADX name and management IP address.

session util		Indicates the percentage of the ServerIron ADX session capacity that is
		in use. This information is reported by the site ServerIron ADX using the
		GSLB protocol.

preference		The numeric preference value for this site ServerIron ADX. The
		preference can be used by the GSLB policy to select a site. Refer to “Site
		ServerIron ADX’s administrative preference” on page 11.

avail. sessions		Indicates the number of unused sessions in the ServerIron ADX’s
		session table.

For descriptions of the other information displayed by the show gslb dns detail command, refer to “Displaying DNS zone and hosts” on page 170.
