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
