A GSLB site is a representation of a data center in your network and is a logical grouping of GSLB virtual servers, services, and other network entities. Typically, in a GSLB set up, there are many GSLB sites that are equipped to serve the same content to a client. These are usually geographically separated to ensure that the domain is active even if one site goes down completely. All of the sites in the GSLB configuration must be configured on every Citrix ADC appliance hosting a GSLB site. In other words, at each site, you configure the local GSLB site and each remote GSLB site.

Once GSLB sites are created for a domain, the Citrix ADC appliance sends client requests to the appropriate GSLB site as determined by the GSLB algorithms configured.

To create a GSLB site by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type the following commands to create a GSLB site and verify the configuration:

add gslb site <siteName> <siteIPAddress>
show gslb site <siteName>
<!--NeedCopy-->

Example:

add gslb site Site-GSLB-East-Coast 10.14.39.21
show glsb site Site-GSLB-East-Coast
<!--NeedCopy-->

To modify or remove a GSLB Site by using the command line interface

  • To modify a GSLB site, use the set gslb site command, which is just like using the add gslb site command, except that you enter the name of an existing GSLB Site.
  • To unset a site parameter, use the unset gslb site command, followed by the siteName value and the name of the parameter to be reset to its default value.
  • To remove a GSLB site, use the rm gslb site command, which accepts only the <name> argument.

To configure a basic GSLB site by using the configuration utility

  1. Navigate to Traffic Management > GSLB > Sites.
  2. Add a new GSLB site, or select an existing GSLB site and edit its settings.

To view the statistics of a GSLB site by using the command line interface

At the command prompt, type:

stat gslb site <siteName>
<!--NeedCopy-->

Example:

stat gslb site Site-GSLB-East-Coast
<!--NeedCopy-->

To view the statistics of a GSLB site by using the configuration utility

  1. Navigate to Traffic Management > GSLB > Sites.
  2. Select the GSLB site and click Statistics.
