Command History
Usage Guidelines This command is available for all probe types except TCP.
Note There are two different timeout values: open and receive. The open timeout specifies how many seconds
to wait for the connection to open (that is, how many seconds to wait for SYN ACK after sending SYN).
The receive timeout specifies how many seconds to wait for data to be received (that is, how many
seconds to wait for an HTTP reply after sending a GET/HHEAD request). Because TCP probes close as
soon as they open without sending any data, the receive timeout is not used.
Examples This example shows how to configure a time to wait for a reply from a server to 5 seconds:
Cat6k-2(config-slb-probe-http)# receive 5
