/cfg/slb/gslb/site <site number>
Remote Site Menu
Alteon initiates a global server selection to direct client traffic to the best server for a given domain. Each domain has one or more sites, each site has a virtual server for the domain, each virtual server has a number of virtual services, and each virtual service has a group of real servers. Each virtual server has a domain name and each virtual service has a hostname. The combination of a virtual server and a virtual service is called a domain.
At a local site for a domain, there is a local virtual server but no remote virtual server. The local virtual server has a number of local virtual services Each local virtual service has a group of local or remote real servers. The remote real servers are the virtual servers at the remote sites.
Up to 64 remote sites can be configured.

GSLB Remote Site Menu Options (/cfg/slb/gslb/site) 
Command Syntax and Usage
primaipver <IP version (v4, v6)>
 
Specifies the IP version of the IP address of the primary Alteon at the remote site used for GSLB.
Default: v4
prima <server IP address>
 
Specifies the IP address of the interface for the primary Alteon at the remote site used for GSLB.
Alteon accepts DSSP updates only from a source IP address equal to the primary or secondary IP address. Make sure remote sites send DSSP updates through the configured interface.
seconipver <IP version (v4, v6)>
 
Specifies the IP version of the IP address of the secondary Alteon at the remote site used for GSLB.
Default: v4
secon <server IP address>
 
Specifies the IP address of the interface for a redundant Alteon at the remote site, if it exists. If the remote site primary Alteon fails, the local Alteon addresses the remote site secondary Alteon.
Alteon accepts DSSP updates only from a source IP address equal to the primary or secondary IP address. Make sure remote sites send DSSP updates through the configured interface.
name <128 character name | none>
 
Specifies a descriptive name for the GSLB remote site.
Default: none
peer <disable|enable>
 
Enables or disables the remote site as a VRRP peer device.
To enable synchronization of the DNS persistence cache between Alteons, define the peer Alteon IP address in the prima command, and enable the peer command.
Default: disable
update disable|enable
 
Enables or disables remote site updates.
Values:
*enable — Alteon sends regular DSSP updates to its remote peers using HTTP port 80.
Note: When enabled, GSLB uses service port 80 on the IP interface for DSSP updates. By default, Web Based Management (WBM) also uses port 80. Both services cannot use the same port. If both are enabled, configure WBM to use a different service port (see the /cfg/sys/access/wport option at /cfg/sys/access System Access Control Configuration).
*disable — Alteon does not send state updates. If your local firewall does not permit this traffic, disable state updates.
Default: enable
pers disable|enable
 
Enables or disables the remote site persistence cache. GSLB lets you add only up to two selected servers to the cache for each source IP address. GSLB can forward the same information to other remote sites to be added to the cache. GSLB deletes the cached entries when they time out. The cached entries are automatically deleted from the remote sites when they time out.
ena
 
Enables this remote site for use with GSLB.
dis
 
Disables this remote site. Alteon no longer uses this remote site for GSLB.
del
 
Removes this remote site from operation and deletes its configuration.
cur
 
Displays the current remote site configuration.
