filt <filter ID (1-2048)>
 
Displays the SLB Filter menu for filtering and application redirection. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/filt <filter number> SLB Filter Menu.
Default: enable
filtset <filter set number (1-15)>
 
Displays the Filter Set menu for filtering and application redirection. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/filtset <filter-set number> Filter Set Menu.
port <port number>
 
Displays the Port SLB menu for setting physical port states for Layer 4 activity.
nwclss <network class id>
 
Displays the Network Class Configuration menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/nwclss <network class ID> Network Class Configuration Menu.
dataclss
 
Displays the Data Classes menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/dataclss Data Classes Menu.
gslb
 
Displays the Global SLB menu for configuring Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/gslb Global SLB Configuration.
lp
 
Displays the LinkProof menu for configuring the LinkProof feature. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/lp LinkProof Menu.
cluster
 
Displays the SLB Cluster menu for configuring the SLB cluster feature. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/cluster SLB Cluster Menu.
prximity
 
Displays the LLB Proximity Menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/prximity LLB Proximity Menu.
agslb
 
Displays the Advanced SLB Global Menu.
trevnt
 
Displays the Traffic Event Log menu for configuring traffic event policies. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/trevnt Traffic Event Log Menu.
wap
 
Displays the WAP menu for configuring Alteon for using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/wap WAP Configuration.
sync
 
Displays the Synchronize Peer menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/sync Synchronize Peer Configuration.
adv
 
Displays the Advanced Layer 4 menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/adv Advanced Layer 4 Configuration.
linklb
 
Displays the Inbound Link Load Balancing menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/linklb Inbound Link Load Balancing Configuration Menu.
advhc
 
Displays the Advanced Health Check menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/advhc Advanced Health Check Menu.
pip
 
Displays the Proxy IP Address menu. When a PIP is defined, client address information in Layer 4 requests is replaced with the proxy IP address. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/pip Proxy IP Address Menu.
peerpip
 
Displays the Peer Proxy IP Address menu. When this command is enabled, an Alteon forwards traffic from a peer Alteon using Layer 2, without performing server processing on the packets of that peer Alteon. This happens because the peers are aware of each other’s proxy IP address. This prevents the dropping of a packet, or the packet being sent to the backup Alteon in the absence of the proxy IP address of the peer.
Peer traffic forwarding is relevant only for Active-Active scenarios where both the primary and backup Alteon can process traffic. If there are server responses to a proxy IP address corresponding to another switch, the current Alteon forwards traffic to this other switch by performing peer proxy IP address lookup (otherwise these packets would be dropped in server processing).
The IP address to be added is the proxy IP address hosted on the peer switch.
icap
 
Displays the ICAP Policy menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/icap ICAP Policy Menu.
appshape
 
Displays the AppShape++ Repository menu for managing AppShape++ scripts. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/appshape AppShape++ Script Management.
Default:
sipspat disable|enable
 
Enables or disables translation of the source port in SIP responses.
This feature is relevant in cases where the server uses a source port different from the application port in its response.
Default: disable
wlm
 
Displays the Workload Management menu for the workload management of servers. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/wlm Workload Management Menu.
rlogging
 
Displays the Remote Logging menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/rlogging Remote Logging Menu.
sideband
 
Displays the Sideband Connection menu. To view this menu, see /cfg/slb/sideband Sideband Connection Menu.
on
 
Globally turns on Layer 4 software services for SLB and application redirection. This option can be performed only after the optional Layer 4 software is enabled (see /oper/swkey Activating Software).
Note: Filters configured to allow, deny, or perform Network Address Translation (NAT) on traffic do not require Layer 4 software to be activated. These filters are not affected by the setting SLB on or off.
Application redirection filters, however, require Layer 4 software services. Layer 4 processing must be turned on before redirection filters will work.
off
 
Globally disables Layer 4 services. All configuration information remains in place (if applied or saved), but the software processes no longer are active on Alteon.
Note: Filters configured to allow, deny, or perform Network Address Translation (NAT) on traffic do not require Layer 4 software to be activated. These filters are not affected by the setting SLB on or off.
Application redirection filters, however, require Layer 4 software services. Layer 4 processing must be turned on before redirection filters will work.
cur
 
Displays the current SLB configuration.
