Setting name Description
Name Type a unique name that can be referenced in other parts of the

Note: The name cannot be changed after this part of the
configuration is saved. To rename a part of the configuration, clone it,
select it in all parts of the configuration that reference the old name,
then delete the item with the old name.
Protocol Type Select the protocol that the server health check will use to contact
the server.
•Ping — Send ICMP type 8 (ECHO_REQUEST or “ping”) and listen
for either ICMP type 0 (ECHO_RESPONSE or “pong”) indicating
responsiveness, or timeout indicating that the host is not
responsive.
•TCP — Send TCP SYN and listen for either TCP SYN ACK
indicating responsiveness, or timeout indicating that the host is
not responsive.
•HTTP/HTTPS — Send an HTTP/HTTPS request, and listen for an
HTTP/HTTPS response code 200 OK and page content matching
Matched Content indicating responsiveness, or timeout indicating
that the host is not responsive.
The protocol used depends on whether you enable SSL for that
server in the server farm. Contact occurs on the protocol and port
number specified for that web server in the server farm.
