Monitoring Real Servers
Typically, the management network is used by network administrators to monitor real servers
and services. By configuring the
mnet and mmask options of the SLB Configuration Menu
( /cfg/slb/adv ), you can access the real services being load balanced.
N OTE – Clients on the management network do not have access to SLB services and cannot
access the virtual services being load balanced.
The mnet and mmask options are described below:
n
mnet : If defined, management traffic with this source IP address is allowed direct (non-
SLB) access to the real servers. Only specify an IP address in dotted decimal notation. A
range of IP addresses is produced when used with the mmask option.
n
mmask : This IP address mask is used with mnet to select management traffic that is
allowed direct real server access only.
