Configuring GSLB protocol parameters

This section describes how to modify the following GSLB protocol parameters:

GSLB protocol port number: refer to “Changing the protocol port number” on page 29.

GSLB protocol update period: refer to “Changing the GSLB protocol update period” on page 30.

DNS response parameters: refer to “Modifying GSLB parameters related to DNS responses” on page 30.

GSLB policy parameters: refer to “Changing the GSLB policy metrics” on page 34.

Changing the protocol port number

By default, a GSLB ServerIron ADX uses TCP port 182 to exchange GSLB information with other ServerIron ADXs, including the site ServerIron ADXs.

For example, if other devices in the network also use port 182, but for other applications, you need to change the protocol on those devices or on the ServerIron ADXs.

To change the GSLB protocol port, enter the following command.

ServerIronADX(config)#gslb communication 1882

Syntax: [no] gslb communication <tcp-portnum>
