Moves activity to the privileged EXEC level from any level of the CLI, with the exception of the user level.

EXAMPLE:

To move to the privileged level, enter the following from any level of the CLI.

ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# end

ServerIron#

Syntax: end

Possible values: N/A

Default value: N/A

Moves activity up one level from the current level. In this case, activity will be moved to the global level.

EXAMPLE:

ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# exit

ServerIron(config)#

Syntax: exit

Possible values: N/A

Default value: N/A

This command is used to disable other commands. To do so, place the word no before the command.

Configures a GSLB affinity definition. The GSLB Affinity feature configures the GSLB ServerIron to always prefer a specific site ServerIron for queries from clients whose addresses are within a given IP prefix. For more information, see the "Configuring Global Server Load Balancing" chapter in the Foundry ServerIron Installation and Configuration Guide.

EXAMPLE:

To configure an affinity definition, enter commands such as the following:

ServerIron(config)# gslb affinity
ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# prefer sunnyvale slb-1 for 0.0.0.0/0
ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# prefer atlanta slb-1 for 192.108.22.0/22

These commands configure a default affinity definition (using the 0.0.0.0/0) prefix and an affinity definition that uses prefix 192.108.22.0/22. For clients that are not within the prefix in the second affinity definition, the ServerIron uses the default affinity definition. The ServerIron sends clients whose IP addresses are within the 192.108.22.0/22 prefix to a VIP on slb-1 at the “atlanta” site, when available. The ServerIron sends all other clients to a VIP on slb-1 at the “sunnyvale” site when available.

Syntax: gslb affinity

This command places the CLI at the affinity configuration level.

Syntax: [no] prefer <site-name> <si-name> | <si-ip-addr> for <ip-addr> <ip-mask> | <ip-addr>/<prefix-length>

You can refer to the ServerIron by its GSLB site name and ServerIron name or by its management IP address. Use one of the following parameters:

• The <site-name> and <si-name> parameters specify the remote site and a ServerIron at that site. If you use this method, you must specify both parameters.

• The <si-ip-addr> parameter specifies the site ServerIron’s management IP address.

The <ip-addr> <ip-mask> or <ip-addr> /<prefix-length> parameter specifies the prefix. You can specify a mask from 0.0.0.0 – 255.255.255.254. If you instead specify a prefix length, you can specify from 0 – 31 bits.

If you specify 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0/0, the ServerIron applies the affinity definition to all client addresses. As a result, an address that does not match another affinity definition uses the zero affinity definition by default. If you do not configure a default affinity definition, the ServerIron uses the standard GSLB policy for clients whose addresses are not within a prefix in an affinity definition.

Possible values: See above.

Default value: N/A

This command returns you from any level of the CLI to the User EXEC mode.

EXAMPLE:

ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# quit

ServerIron>

Syntax: quit

Possible values: N/A

Default value: N/A

Displays the real and virtual server configuration information on a remote site ServerIron in the GSLB ServerIron’s CLI. The command also displays the session and CPU information used by the GSLB policy. You can view detailed configuration information and statistics for the site ServerIron, from the GSLB ServerIron’s management console. For more information, see the "Configuring Global Server Load Balancing" chapter in the Foundry ServerIron Installation and Configuration Guide.

Displays a variety of configuration and statistical information about the ServerIron. To see a description of the show commands, see "Show Commands" .

Saves the running-time configuration into the startup-config file.

EXAMPLE:

ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# write memory

Syntax: write memory

Possible values: N/A

Default value: N/A

Displays the running-configuration of the ServerIron on the terminal screen.

EXAMPLE:

ServerIron(config-gslb-affinity)# write terminal

Syntax: write terminal

Possible values: N/A

Default value: N/A
