| Configuring the WSM using Device Manager |
The following table lists and defines the types of health checks that can be configured for a real server group.
link
For IDSLB group only, checks status of port for each server.
arp
For Layer 2 health checking, sends an ARP request.
icmp
For Layer 3 health checking, pings the server.
tcp
For TCP service, open and close a TCP/IP connection to the server.
http
For HTTP service, use HTTP 1.1 GETS when a HOST: header is required to check that the URL content is specified in content command. Otherwise, an HTTP/1.0 GET occurs.
If content is not specified in the Health Check Content field, the health check will revert to TCP on the port that is being load balanced.
dns
For Domain Name Service, check that the domain name specified in content can be resolved by the server.
pop3
For user mail service, check that the user:password account specified in content exists on the server.
smtp
For mail-server services, check that the user specified in content is accessible on the server.
nntp
For news group services, check that the news group name specified in content is accessible on the server.
ftp
For FTP services, check that the filename specified in content is accessible on the server through anonymous login.
imap
For user mail service, check that the user:password value specified in content exists on the server.
radius
For RADIUS remote access server authentication, check that the user:password value specified in content exists on the WSM and the server. To perform application health checking to a RADIUS server, you must also configure the Secret field on the SLB General tab.
sslh
Query the health of the SSL servers by sending an SSL client Hello packet and then verifying the contents of the server's Hello response. During the handshake, the user and server exchange security certificates, negotiate an encryption and compression method, and establish a session ID for each session.
script
Check for application and content availability using one of 16 script-based health checks in send/expect format. <n> denotes the health script number (1-16). The script is configured in the CLI, and can be enabled in JDM for a real server group.
wsp
Health checks on connectionless WSP content for WAP gateways. The content must also be configured. For more information, see Configuring WAP SLB using RADIUS snooping.
udpdns
Allows the user to perform health checking using UDP DNS queries.
wtls
Provides Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) Hello-based health check for encrypted and connection-oriented WTLS traffic on port 9203.
ldap
Sets the health check type to LDAP.
