Content Switching Module InBand Health Monitoring

[pjorgensen]

Does inband health monitoring passively monitor connections for problems or does it actively poll the servers? The documentation is contadictory. The "health" command seems like an active thing.

Configuring health probes to the real servers allows you to determine if the real servers are operating correctly. The health of a real server is categorized as follows:

*Active - The real server responds appropriately.

*Suspect - The real server is unreachable or returns an invalid response. The probes are retried.

*Failed - The real server fails to reply after a specified number of consecutive retries. You are notified and the CSM adjusts incoming connections accordingly. Probes continue to a failed server until the server becomes active again.
