Cisco Systems 6000 manual Configuring Redirect Virtual Servers

Configuring the Content Switching Module

	To configure DFP, perform this task:
	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router(config)# ip slb dfp [password	Configure DFP manager, supply an optional
	password]	password, and enter the DFP agent submode1, 2.
Step 2	Router(config-slb-dfp)# agent ip-address port	Configure time intervals between keepalive
	[activity-timeout retry-count	messages, number of consecutive connection
	retry-interval]	attempts or invalid DFP reports, and the interval
		between connection attempts2.
Step 3	Router# show ip slb dfp [weights agent	Display DFP manager and agent information.
	ip-address port detail]

1.Enter the exit command 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.

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-vservercommand 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
	Step 1
		Router(config-slb-sfarm)#	Configure virtual servers dedicated to real servers
		redirect-vserver name	and enter the redirect server submode1, 2.
	Step 2
		Router(config-slb-redirect-v)# webhost	Configure the relocation string to be sent in response
		relocation relocation string	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.
	Step 3
		Router(config-redirect-v)# webhost backup	Configure the relocation string sent in response to
		backup string	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.
	Step 4
		Router(config-redirect-v)# virtual	Configure the redirect virtual server IP address and
		v_ipaddress tcp port	port2.
