Chapter 54 Configuring ASLB
Configuring ASLB on the Switch
Specifying the Server VLAN and the LocalDirector Port on the VLAN
Note
After entering the
set lda server
command, if you change the switch port(s) to which the LocalDirector
is connected, you must enter the
set lda server
command again to specify the new configuration.
Note
Specifying a backup LocalDirector port is optional unless you are setting up a failover configuration of
LocalDirectors. If you are setting up a failover configuration, you must specify the ports for the backup
LocalDirector. If this is not done, failover does not work because the supervisor engine does not send
any traffic to the intended backup LocalDirector.
To specify the server VLAN and the LocalDirector port on the VLAN, perform this task in privileged
mode:
This example shows how to specify the server VLAN and the LocalDirector port on the VLAN:
Console> (enable)
set lda server 105 4/40
Successfully set server vlan and LD port.
Use commit lda command to save settings to hardware.
Console>
(enable)
Configuring the UDP Aging
To configure the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) aging, perform this task in privileged mode:
You can set the aging from 1–2024000 milliseconds (ms). Enter a value of zero to disable UDP aging.
This example shows how to configure the UDP aging to 500 ms:
Console> (enable)
set lda udpage 500
Successfully set LDA UDP aging time to 500ms.
Console> (enable)
Committing the ASLB Configuration
Note
The ASLB configuration settings are temporarily stored in an edit buffer. The settings are saved in
NVRAM, but for the settings to take effect, you must enter the
commit lda
command. This command
verifies your configuration settings. If the information is entered correctly and passes a consistency
check, the settings are programmed into the hardware. Once the ASLB configuration is successfully
committed, the mapping is saved in NVRAM and restored at the system bootup.
