This article describes how to configure a time delay for GSLB services to be marked as DOWN when a MEP connection goes DOWN.

Note: This delay is applicable only to services not bound to a monitor. The delay does not affect the trigger monitors.

Instructions

Set Time Delay Using ADC GUI

To set a time delay by using the ADC GUI:

1. Navigate to Configuration > Traffic Management > GSLB.

   

2. Under Settings, Click Change GSLB Settings.

   

3. In the GSLB Service State Delay Time (secs) box, type the time delay in seconds.

   

4. Click OK.

   

This completes setting time delay using ADC.

Background

If the status of a MEP connection to a remote site changes to DOWN, the status of every GSLB service on that remote site is marked as DOWN, although the site might not actually be DOWN.

You can now set a delay to allow some time for reestablishment of the MEP connection before the site is marked as DOWN. If the MEP connection is back UP before the delay expires, the services are not affected.

For example, if you set the delay 10, the GSLB services are marked as DOWN until the MEP connection has been DOWN for 10 seconds. If the MEP connection is back UP within 10 seconds, the GSLB services remain in the UP state.
