Advanced GSLB configuration for IPv6

2

Configuring a geographic prefix

Using the geo-prefixcommand, you can configure the geographic location of an IP address prefix, or override an existing geographic region for an IP address prefix by configuring a new one.

You can assign one of the following geographic locations to an IP address prefix:

North America

South America

Europe

Asia

Africa

To configure a geographic prefix, enter commands such as the following:

GSLB-ServerIronADX# configure terminal GSLB-ServerIronADX(config)# gslb policy GSLB-ServerIronADX(config-gslb-policy)# geo-prefix 2001.db8::/64 asia GSLB-ServerIronADX(config-gslb-policy)# end

These commands create a geographic prefix entry with IPv6 address 2001.db8::, prefix length 64, and geographic region Asia.

Syntax: [no] geo-prefix <ipv6-prefix>[asia europe n-america s-america africa]

The command configures an association between a prefix and a geographic location. The <ipv6-prefix>variable identifies the respective networks. Five operands serve as location tags for the network: asia, europe, n-america, s-america, and africa.

NOTE

When a geographic prefix is converted from static to dynamic through geographic prefix configuration, the old geographic prefix information will be replaced with the new information. If the prefix is deleted, the old value will not be restored because it has already been replaced.

Specifying site locations

By default, the GSLB ServerIron ADX uses a site’s IP address to determine its geographic location. Alternatively, you can explicitly specify the location, by entering commands such as the following:

ServerIronADX(config)# gslb site us

ServerIronADX(config-gslb-site-us)# geo-location n-america

Syntax: [no] geo-location asia europe n-america s-america africa

Specifying GSLB controller locations

By default, the GSLB controller is assigned to the North America geographic. Specify the GSLB controller location by entering commands such as the following at the global configuration level:

ServerIronADX(config)# gslb default-location asia

ServerIronADX(config)# write memory

The command specifies “asia” as the default location of the GSLB controller.

Syntax: [no] gslb default-location asia europe n-america s-america africa
