The virtual host name used for this VIP; this virtual host name must also be set the scheduler.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
Extreme Networks GlobalPx Content Director ª is a DNS-based Internet trafÞc-management system.
This system allows you to take advantage of network and server resources regardless of their location on the Internet or your Intranet. As you add points of presence (POPs, clusters of one or more Px-series switches) to a network, GlobalPx Content Director monitors server loads and network response latencies, distributing client requests to the POP that it determines will deliver the best performance.
GlobalPx Content Director improves client access performance and reliability by leveraging dispersed network resources.
The GlobalPx Content Director transparently directs clients and client DNS servers to the most appropriate POP to satisfy client requests. Typically, the physically closest POP is the one that gives the fastest response. However, this is not always the case. The GlobalPx Content Director scheduler routes requests to the optimal POP. The scheduler is a separate program that runs on a Windows or Solaris machine. When the scheduler is in use, virtual services are not automatically used by the scheduler. You must issue this command for any virtual service that you want to be used by the scheduler. You must also conÞgure the service in the scheduler itself. For more information, see the GlobalPx Content Director
Installation and User Guide.
You must use the
command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
Example
This example conÞgures a virtual service to be used by the scheduler.

Description
Sets the sessionÕs authentication key for SSH2 sessions to a pregenerated key.
Syntax Description
This command has no parameters or options.
Default

Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
Before the switch can accept incoming SSH2 sessions, it must have an authentication key. This command set the authentication key to a key that was generated previously.
Typically you do not issue this command interactively. Instead, you generate a key with the
command to write your conÞguration to a
Þle. The resulting conÞguration Þle contains a configure ssh2 key pregenerated
command that speciÞes the sequence of characters from which the key was generated. When you later load the conÞguration Þle (using the
configure ssh2 key pregenerated
command is executed.
If you do issue this command interactively, you will be prompted to enter the sequence of characters from which the key was generated. Typically, you paste in text that you copied from a conÞguration Þle that you saved after generating the key initially.
Changes made by this command are executed immediately and do not require the

The network mask.
The VLAN tag for the switch.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
To conÞgure the switch, you must specify its IP address and network mask. You can specify the network mask by giving either the number of bits set in the mask or the network mask itself. For example, the following two commands are identical: configure system-ip 64.1.1.10 / 24 configure system-ip 64.1.1.10 network-mask 255.255.255.0
You may optionally specify a VLAN for the switch. The Px series application switch supports up to
4,096 VLANs. The system IP and proxy IPs must reside in the same VLAN; VIPs and servers can be on any VLAN. The application switch identiÞes VLANs with 802.1q VLAN ID numbers rather than names.
If you plan to conÞgure the system VLAN on the application switch, you must enable VLANs on the
conÞguration switch with the enable vlan
command before you issue the conÞgure system-ip

unconfigure gslb
unconfigure gslb ipaddress <IP address> service <string>
Description
Removes a virtual service from use by the GlobalPx Content Director scheduler.
Syntax Description
IP address string
The VIP of the virtual service to be removed from use by the GlobalPx Content Director scheduler.
The virtual host name used for the specified VIP; this virtual host name must also be set the scheduler.
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
Extreme Networks GlobalPx Content Director ª is a DNS-based Internet trafÞc-management system.
This system allows you to take advantage of network and server resources regardless of their location on the Internet or your Intranet. As you add points of presence (POPs, clusters of one or more Px-series switches) to a network, GlobalPx Content Director monitors server loads and network response latencies, distributing client requests to the POP that it determines will deliver the best performance.
GlobalPx Content Director improves client access performance and reliability by leveraging dispersed network resources.
The GlobalPx Content Director transparently directs clients and client DNS servers to the most appropriate POP to satisfy client requests. Typically, the physically closest POP is the one that gives the fastest response. However, this is not always the case. The GlobalPx Content Director scheduler routes requests to the optimal POP. The scheduler is a separate program that runs on a Windows or Solaris machine. When the scheduler is in use, virtual services are not automatically used by the scheduler. You must issue the
configure gslb command for any virtual service that you want to be used by the
scheduler. If you later decide to remove a virtual service from the scheduler, you issue this command.
For more information, see the GlobalPx Content Director Installation and User Guide.
You must use the
command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
Example
This example removes a virtual service from use by the scheduler.
