Disabling or deleting VIPs and real ports

Disabling a real server

Under the real server config level, you can disable a real server. Disabling a real server also
disables all the existing real server ports. The real server state will become “disabled”, and no new
connections will be assigned to a disabled real server. However, all the existing connections will
remain. No health check will be done for a disabled real server.

To disable a real server, enter commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server real rs1 10.1.1.1

Virtual ADX(config-rs-rs1)#disable

Syntax: [no] disable

Disabling or re-enabling an application port

Application ports are enabled by default. To disable an application port on a virtual server, enter
commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server virtual-name-or-ip Zoot_Allures 10.2.3.4

Virtual ADX(config-vs-Zoot_Allures)#port http disable

Syntax: [no] port tcp/udp-port disable

To re-enable a port, enter commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server virtual-name-or-ip Zoot_Allures 10.2.3.4

Virtual ADX(config-vs-Zoot_Allures)#no port http disable

Globally disabling real and virtual ports

You can globally disable a Layer 4 port on the Brocade Virtual ADX. The port can be disabled for all
real servers, all virtual servers or all real and virtual servers. After you disable a port globally, you
can enable the port on individual real or virtual servers as necessary. By default, all real and virtual
ports are enabled.

When the Brocade Virtual ADX is booted, if the command to globally disable a real or virtual port
exists in the startup-config file, the specified port is disabled at startup. When a real or virtual port
is created, and the port has been disabled globally, the real or virtual port is disabled as well. You
must enable the port explicitly.

To disable all real HTTP ports, enter commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server port 80

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#disable real

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#

To disable all virtual HTTP ports, enter commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server port 80

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#disable virtual

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#

To disable all real and virtual HTTP ports, enter commands such as the following.

Virtual ADX(config)#server port 80

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#disable

Virtual ADX(config-port-http)#

Syntax: disable [real | virtual]
