Problem Cause
Netscaler Responds to ICMP requests for a Virtual IP (VIP) address on the basis of the states of the virtual servers associated with that VIP. Available settings function as follows:
* NONE - The NetScaler appliance responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address, irrespective of the states of the virtual servers associated with the address.
* ONE VSERVER - The NetScaler appliance responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address if at least one of the associated virtual servers is in UP state.
* ALL VSERVER - The NetScaler appliance responds to any ICMP request for the VIP address if all of the associated virtual servers are in UP state.
* VSVR_CNTRLD - The behavior depends on the ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE setting on all the associated virtual servers.
The following settings can be made for the ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE parameter on a virtual server:
* If you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to PASSIVE on all virtual servers, NetScaler always responds.
* If you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to ACTIVE on all virtual servers, NetScaler responds if even one virtual server is UP.
* When you set ICMP VSERVER RESPONSE to ACTIVE on some and PASSIVE on others, NetScaler responds if even one virtual server set to ACTIVE is UP.
