Basic GSLB for IPv6 configuration
2
The ip-list <ipv6-address> variable specifIes the proxy IPv6 address(es). You can specify as many
proxy IP addresses as you need. If you specify multiple addresses, separate each address with a
space. Here is an example:
host-info www ip-list 2001:db8::56 2001:db8::ab 2001:db8::cd
Configuring sites
The GSLB protocol is disabled by default. You must enable the GSLB protocol on each site
ServerIron ADX. After you enable the GSLB protocol, the GSLB ServerIron ADX finds the site
ServerIron 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 ServerIron ADXs in it. (You can also
specify the administrative preference for site ServerIron ADXs. Refer to “Administrative preference
metric” on page 220.)
To configure the server sites shown in Figure 12 on page 195, enter commands such as the
following:
ServerIronADX(config)# gslb site US
ServerIronADX(config-gslb-site-US)# si-name slb-1 209.157.22.206
ServerIronADX(config)# gslb site EU
ServerIronADX(config-gslb-site-EU)# si-name slb-1 92.108.22.114
These commands configure two GSLB sites: one in the United States (US), the other in Europe (EU).
Each site contain one ServerIron ADX (a site ServerIron 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 ServerIron
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 ServerIron 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 ServerIron 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 ServerIron ADX.
If it runs the router code, then enter the VE IP address on the site ServerIron ADX.
In both cases, you must not enter a virtual IP address (VIP) configured on the ServerIron ADX or a
source IP address added for source NAT.
NOTE
Only IPv4 addresses are supported for site ServerIron ADXs. All communication between the GSLB
ServerIron ADX and the site ServerIron ADX is on IPv4.
