configure slb global ping-check
ExtremeWare 7.5 Command Reference Guide 521
configure slb global ping-check
configure slb global ping-check frequency <seconds> timeout <seconds>
Description
Configures the default health checking frequency and timeout period using layer 3-based pinging of the
physical node.
Syntax Description
Default
The default frequency is 10 seconds.
The default timeout is 30 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
This command sets the global values for ping check. Use the global values if your servers are all equally
reliable. You can configure a node to override the global values using the following command:
configure slb node <ip address> ping-check
The frequency must be less than the timeout.
If the pinged node does not respond within the specified timeout period (three ping intervals by
default), the node is considered down.
Shorter ping intervals require more CPU processing.
Example
The following command sets the global ping check frequency to 5 seconds and the timeout to
15 seconds:
configure slb global ping-check frequency 5 timeout 15
