Configuring the Content Switching Module
To configure DFP, perform this task:
Note A DFP agent may be on any host machine. A DFP agent is independent of the IP addresses and port
numbers of the real servers that are managed by the agent.
This example shows how to configure the dynamic feedback protocol without a password or agent:
Router(config)# ip slb dfp password password
Router(config-slb-dfp)# agent 123.234.34.55 5 6 10 20
Router(config-slb-dfp)# exit
Configuring Redirect Virtual Servers
The redirect-vserver command is a server farm submode command that allows you to configure virtual
servers dedicated to real servers. This mapping provides connection persistence for clients to real servers
across TCP sessions.
To configure redirect virtual servers, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step1 Router(config)# ip slb dfp [password
password]
Configure DFP manager, supply an optional
password, and enter the DFP agent submode1, 2.
1. Enter the exit co mmand to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.
2. The no form of this command restores the defaults.
Step2 Router(config-slb-dfp)# agent ip-address port
[activity-timeout | retry-count |
retry-interval]
Configure time intervals between keepalive
messages, number of consecutive connection
attempts or invalid DFP reports, and the interval
between connection attempts2.
Step3 Router# show ip slb dfp [weights | agent
ip-address port | detail]
Display DFP manager and agent information.
Command Purpose
Step1 Router(config-slb-sfarm)#
redirect-vserver name
Configure virtual servers dedicated to real servers
and enter the redirect server submode1, 2.
Step2 Router(config-slb-redirect-v)# webhost
relocation relocation string
Configure the relocation string to be sent in response
to HTTP requests to the host name. Only the
beginning of the relocation string can be specified.
The remaining portion is taken from the original
HTTP request2.
Step3 Router(config-redirect-v)# webhost backup
backup string
Configure the relocation string sent in response to
HTTP requests in the event that the redirect server is
out of service. Only the beginning of the relocation
string can be specified. The remaining portion is
taken from the original HTTP request2.
Step4 Router(config-redirect-v)# virtual
v_ipaddress tcp port
Configure the redirect virtual server IP address and
port2.
