Creating Agents

An agent refers to the Intel Load Balancers at each site. They are used to keep the 7190 informed of site status, response time, and number of current connections of the server farm they are balancing.

To add an agent, type the following:

Intel 7190# config dns agents create lb1 ip 10.54.67.4

Intel 7190# config dns agents create lb2 ip 10.100.68.4

Associating Services with Agents

Next, services must be associated with agent(s):

Intel 7190# config dns agents lb1 services create 10.54.67.5:80

Intel 7190# config dns agents lbi services create 10.54.67.6:80

Intel 7190# config dns agents lb2 services create 10.100.68.5:80

Intel 7190# config dns agents lb2 services create 10.100.68.6:80

Creating Zones

The next step is to create a zone (e.g., somedomain.xyz-ex.com) on the

7190. The command to do this is:

Intel 7190# config dns zones create somedomain.xyz-ex.com
