Description

Virtual IP still pings although the Load Balancing virtual server is Disabled (out of service) and Effective State is DOWN

Resolution

This happens because the IP in question is still enabled. To correct this:

In the GUI:
  • Go to System > Network > IPs
  • Right click on the desiredĀ IP and click on Disable.
  • Ping the IP to make sure it's no longer reachable.

Via CLI:
  • Execute the following command in CLI to see the current vserver State. It will likely show Enabled, unless the IP has been disabled already.
show ns ip <IP address>
  • If it shows Enabled, execute the following command using the IP address you wish to disable.
disable ns ip <IP address> -td 0
  • Execute the show ns ip <IP address> command again to make sure the state shows Disabled now.
  • Ping the IP again to make sure it doesn't respond anymore.
