High availability configurations

Synchronizing sections of a ServerIron ADX’s configuration is useful if you want to synchronize only

a portion of the ServerIron ADX’s configuration to a peer, or if you want the synchronization to occur

manually instead of automatically.

The following sections of the ServerIron ADX’s configuration can be synchronized individually.

Synchronizing real server configuration

To synchronize the ServerIron ADX’s real server configuration, enter the following commands.

ServerIronADXA# configure terminal

ServerIronADXA(config)# config-sync real-server all

This may remove some configuration on the peer box.

Are you sure? (enter ’y’ or ’n’): y

Syntax: config-sync real-server <server-name> | all

The config-sync real-server command synchronizes the device’s real server configuration with the

peer, but the binding of the real servers to the virtual servers is not retained. Also note that the

sync real-server all command first removes the existing real server configuration on the peer before

applying the new configuration.

Synchronizing virtual server configuration

To synchronize the ServerIron ADX’s virtual server configuration, enter the following commands.

ServerIronADXA# configure terminal

ServerIronADXA#(config)# config-sync vip all

Syntax: config-sync vip <server-name>|all

The config-sync vip command synchronizes the device’s virtual server configuration with the peer,

but the binding of the real servers to the virtual servers is not retained. If you are synchronizing the

configuration of an individual virtual server, you should synchronize the configurations of the real

servers bound to the virtual server, then synchronize the configuration of the virtual server itself.

Also note that the config-sync vip all command first removes the existing virtual server

configuration on the peer before applying the new configuration.

Synchronizing all SLB configurations

To synchronize all of the ServerIron ADX’s SLB-related configuration, including real server, virtual

server, and URL map configuration, enter the following commands.

ServerIronADXA# configure terminal

ServerIronADXA#(config)# config-sync slb

Syntax: config-sync slb

The config-sync slb command synchronizes all the real servers/virtual servers and all the URL

maps with the peer and maintains the binding relationship between the real servers and virtual

severs, as well as URL maps and virtual servers. Also note that the config-sync slb command first

removes the existing SLB configuration on the peer before applying the new configuration.

Synchronizing port-profile configuration

To synchronize the ServerIron ADX’s port profile configuration, enter the following commands.
