Set Up the Switch (Basic SLB)

Shut down SLB-related switch ports on the switch.

1. Enter Global Configuration mode so you can shut down SLB-related switch ports on the switch.

   SEFOS# configure terminal
   

2. Shut down switch ports connected to the client network.

   SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/3-6
   SEFOS(config-if-range)# shutdown
   SEFOS(config-if-range)# exit
   

3. Shut down switch ports connected to the servers.

   SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/15-18
   SEFOS(config-if-range)# shutdown
   SEFOS(config-if-range)# exit
   

4. Set up the interface address of the switch.

   SEFOS(config)# interface vlan 1
   SEFOS(config-if)# shutdown
   SEFOS(config-if)# ip address 192.0.0.100 255.255.255.0
   SEFOS(config-if)# no shutdown
   SEFOS(config-if)# exit
   

5. Set up SLB entries.

   SEFOS(config)# slb 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.0.1,192.0.0.2,192.0.0.3
   SEFOS(config)# slb standby 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.0.0.4
   

6. Set the traffic distribution hash policy (if needed).

   SEFOS(config)# slb policy src-ip
   SEFOS(config)# end
   

7. View the updated configuration.

   SEFOS# show slb
    
   SLB Group ID: 1 Virtual IP: 10.10.10.0/24
   Server Members:
   IP Address       Vlan  MacAddress        Port State     Comments
   ================ ====  ================= ==== ========= ==================
   192.0.0.1        ----  --:--:--:--:--:-- ---- IDLE
   192.0.0.2        ----  --:--:--:--:--:-- ---- IDLE

   192.0.0.4        ----  --:--:--:--:--:-- ---- STANDBY   (down)
   

   The preceding output shows that all active servers are in idle state (not reachable from the switch) and that the standby server is also unreachable from the switch (marked as down in the Comments column).
