Displaying GSLB information

1

This example shows the RTT prefix cache entry that contains site IP address 192.1678.2.1. The prefix source line indicates that the prefix cache entry that matches the site address was added statically. Notice that a prefix cache entry can have more than one source. In this case, the prefix was statically configured but a specific entry (listed below under the domain name “www.brocade.com”) was created when the GSLB ServerIron ADX received RTT information from the site ServerIron ADX for a site address within the prefix.

In the following example, a statically generated entry that the GSLB ServerIron ADX created is displayed. The statically generated entries have an 8-bit prefix, whereas the prefix for dynamic entries is 20 bits long by default.

ServerIronADX(config)# show gslb cache 61.1.1.1

prefix length = 8, prefix = 60.0.0.0, region = ASIA prefix source = geographic

This display shows the following information.

TABLE 14

GSLB policy information

 

 

 

 

 

This field...

 

Displays...

 

 

 

prefix length

 

Specifies the length of the address prefix. The GSLB ServerIron ADX

 

 

initially generates the prefix tree using the IANA (geographic) allocated

 

 

address prefixes, which have variable lengths. Dynamically generated

 

 

cache entries (generated by client queries) have a fixed prefix length, as

 

 

defined by the RTT cache-length parameter. The default is 20.

 

 

 

prefix

 

Specifies the prefix. All client addresses beginning with this prefix are

 

 

aggregated in a single RTT entry.

 

 

 

region

 

Specifies the geographic location of this client prefix. This field can have

 

 

one of the following values:

 

 

ASIA

 

 

EUROPE

 

 

N-AM: North America

 

 

S-AM: South America

 

 

 

prefix source

 

Specifies the prefix source. This field can have one of the following

 

 

values:

 

 

geographic: displayed for static entries (entries generated by the

 

 

 

GSLB ServerIron ADX itself when initializing the RTT cache)

 

 

client query: displayed for entries generated by client queries

 

 

static: displayed for static entries entered by you (refer to “Adding

 

 

 

static prefix cache entries” on page 55)

 

 

NOTE: If a static entry is long enough (greater than 20 bits) and has

 

 

 

been accessed by a client query, the entry can show both

 

 

 

sources.

 

 

Notice that a prefix cache entry can have more than one source.

 

 

 

site

 

Specifies the name of the site.

 

 

ServerIron ADX

Specifies the name and IP address of the ServerIron ADX.

 

 

 

rtt

 

Specifies the RTT value.
