Enabling and Disabling ILB

This section describes the procedures to enable and disable ILB.

How to Enable ILB

Before You Begin

Make sure that the system's Role Based Access Control (RBAC) attribute files have the following entries (if the entries are not there, add them manually):

• File name: /etc/security/auth_attr

  • solaris.network.ilb.config:::Network ILB Configuration::help=NetworkILBconf.html

  • solaris.network.ilb.enable:::Network ILB Enable Configuration::help=NetworkILBenable.html

  • solaris.smf.manage.ilb:::Manage Integrated Load Balancer Service States::help=SmfILBStates.html

• File name: /etc/security/prof_attr

  • Network ILB:::Manage ILB configuration via ilbadm:auths=solaris.network.ilb.config,solaris.network.ilb.enable;help=RtNetILB.html

  • The Network Management entry in the file should include solaris.smf.manage.ilb.

• File name:/etc/user_attr

  • daemon::::auths=solaris.smf.manage.ilb,solaris.smf.modify.application

1. Assume a role that includes the ILB Management rights profile to a role that you create, or become superuser.

   You can assign the ILB Management rights profile to a role that you create. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Configuring and Using RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Enable the appropriate forwarding service either IPv4 or IPv6 or both of them.

   #svcadm enable svc:/network/ipv4-forwarding # svcadm enable svc:/network/ipv6-forwarding  

3. Enable the ILB service.

   # svcadm enable ilb 

4. Verify that the ILB service is enabled.

   # svcs ilb
