Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6

2

If you have enabled the GSLB protocol on the site ServerIron ADXs, the GSLB ServerIron ADX begins communicating with the site ServerIron ADXs using the GSLB protocol as soon as you add the site definitions to the GSLB ServerIron 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 ServerIron ADX supports a subset of policy metrics for load balancing of IPv6 addresses.

Sticky persistence for IPv6: GSLB ServerIron ADX supports sticky site persistence for IPv6 addresses. Refer to “Sticky persistence for IPv6” on page 222.

Hash-based persistence for IPv6: GSLB ServerIron ADX supports hash-based site persistence for IPv6 addresses. For more information, refer to “Hash-based persistence for IPv6” on page 225.

Weighted hash-based persistence for IPv6: GSLB ServerIron ADX supports weighted hash-based site persistence for IPv6 addresses. For more information, refer to “Weighted hash-based persistence for IPv6” on page 226.

DNS response parameters: GSLB ServerIron 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 229.

Table 17 shows the advanced configuration tasks described in this section.
