GSLB Gateway transparent Health monitor validation

anfovar

Hello

How can I configure the A10 to validate the GSLB gateway using a Health check with transparent to 8.8.8.8?

for example, like we do in slb server

because by default GSLB gateway validation is an ICMP to the gateway IP but if the gateway is UP but does not have access to the Internet the A10 will not know so it will continue using the SIPs from the ISP LINK that is down

Thanks!

You can specify the gateway IP address used as well as the health check method. The gateway address is defined under the GSLB Site slb-dev, and we tie that health check to a SLB Server object on the ADC. You may specify a different health check under the SLB Server object.

Here're the configs:

!!! On the GSLB Controller
gslb site EAST
  ip-server web3
  ip-server web2
  ip-server gw1
  slb-dev dunn-adc-2 10.22.10.55
    gateway 8.8.8.8

!!! On the local ADC
slb server external-gw 8.8.8.8

Successfully status:
dunn-adc-2-Standby-vBlade[2/2]#sh gslb slb-device
         Attrs = Attributes, APF = Administrative Preference
         Sesn-Num/Uzn = Number/Utilization of Available Sessions
         GW = Gateway State, IPCnt = Count of Service-IPs
             P = GSLB Protocol, L = Local Protocol
Device                      IP              Attrs APF Sesn-Num    Uzn GW   IPCnt
