Configuring Probes for Health Monitoring

	Command	Purpose
Step 3
	Router(config-slb-probe-http)# expect	Configure a status code to expect from the HTTP probe.
	status min-number [max-number]	You can configure multiple status ranges by entering one
		expect command at a time1.
		min-number—If you do not specify a max-number, this
		number is taken as a single status code. If you specify a
		max-number, this number is taken as the minimum status
		code of a range.
		max-number—The maximum status code in a range. The
		default range is 0–999. (Any response from the server is
		considered valid.)
		Note If no maximum is specified, this command takes
		a single number (min-number). If you specify
		both a min-number and a max-number, it takes
		the range of numbers.
Step 4
	Router(config-slb-probe-http)# header	Configure a header field for the HTTP probe. Multiple
	field-name [field-value]	header fields may be specified1.
Step 5	Router(config-slb-probe-http)# request	Configure the request method used by an HTTP probe1:
	[method [get head]] [url path]	• get—Directs the HTTP get request method directs
		the server to get this page
		• head—Directs the HTTP head request method
		directs the server to get only the header for this page
		• url—A character string of up to 1275 characters
		specifies the URL path; the default path is “/”
		Note The CSM supports only the get and head request
		methods; it does not support the post and other
		methods. The default method is head.

ICMP Probe

An ICMP probe sends an ICMP echo (for example, ping) to the real server. The ip slb probe icmp command enters the ICMP probe configuration mode. All the common ip slb probe commands are supported except open, which is ignored.

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	Router(config)# ip slb probe probe-nameicmp	Configure an ICMP probe and enter the ICMP
		probe submode1.
Step 2
	Router(config-slb-probe-icmp)# [failed	Configure the intervals to wait between probes
	interval retries receive]	of a failed server and between probes. Also,
		specify the time to make a TCP connection, to
		receive a reply from the server, and to limit the
		number of retries before considering the real
		server as failed.
