Displaying GSLB for IPv6 configurations

TABLE 23 GSLB zone and host application information (Continued)

This field...

Displays...

 

 

State

The state of the server. The ServerIron ADX determines the state based

 

on the results of the Layer 7 health checks sent to the server. The

 

ServerIron ADX sends Layer 7 health checks for each host application

 

you associate with the zone.

 

The state can be one of the following:

 

ACTIVE: The server passed the Layer 4 and Layer 7 health checks

 

 

and is presumed to be available.

 

DOWN: The server failed a health check. If any of the health checks

 

 

are failed, the GSLB ServerIron ADX disqualifies this site from being

 

 

the “best” site.

 

NOTE: If the server has multiple applications, all the applications must

 

 

pass the health check.

 

NOTE: The ServerIron ADX also uses the results of the health check, if

 

 

the server passes the check, in the TCP and App columns under

 

 

FlashBack Delay, described below.

 

 

Location

The geographic location of the server. The location is based on the IP

 

address and can be one of the following:

 

ASIA

 

EUROPE

 

N-AM: North America

 

S-AM: South America

 

AFRICA

 

The GSLB ServerIron ADX can use this information when comparing the

 

servers in order to select the “best” ones for the client. The GSLB

 

ServerIron ADX prefers servers within the client’s geographic region over

 

servers in other geographic regions.

 

 

FlashBack Delay (x100us)

The round-trip time for a health check sent by the GSLB ServerIron ADX

 

to the host application on the server.

 

The GSLB ServerIron ADX can use this information when comparing the

 

servers in order to select the “best” ones for the client. The GSLB

 

ServerIron ADX prefers servers with lower round-trip times to those with

 

higher round-trip times.

 

The value in the TCP column indicates the round-trip time of the Layer 4

 

health check to the TCP port.

 

The value in the App column indicates the round-trip time for the Layer 7

 

health check.

 

NOTE: A single value is displayed even if the zone has multiple host

 

 

applications. If the FlashBack values (round-trip times) differ, the

 

 

slowest times are displayed.

 

 

DNS resp. selection counters Count

The number of times the GSLB ServerIron ADX has selected this server

 

as the “best” server and thus placed the server’s IP address at the top of

 

the list in DNS replies.

DNS resp. selection percentage (%)

The percentage of times the GSLB ServerIron ADX has selected this server as the “best” server and thus placed the server’s IP address at the top of the list in DNS replies.

Use the show gslb dns command to view information about the distribution of traffic after the configuration of weighted IP metrics.
