GlbpApp Service

This chapter describes the DCNM web services' API methods for the GlbpApp service.

Information About GlbpApp Service

The Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) is a first-hop routing protocol that provides gateway redundancy and load balancing. GLBP provides redundancy with an active gateway and a standby gateway. Members of a GLBP group elect one gateway to be the active virtual gateway (AVG) for that group. Other members of a GLBP group may act as redundant GLBP devices that will become active if any existing gateway fails. The API categories are as follows:

•Query/Get APIs—Query data from the persistent database.

•Modify APIs—Modify existing GLBP group settings.

•Remove APIs—Disassociate GLBP group setting from one or more interfaces in the device.

addGlbpGroupSetting

Adds a GLBP group setting to one or more IpNetworkInterface.

ValidationException is thrown if any of the following situation occurs:

•If ifInstanceNameIdCol is null or empty or it is not of type InstanceNameId.

•If ifInstanceNameIdCol is not a valid InstanceNameId of IpNetworkInterface object.

•If setting is null or

1. virtualIpAddress or secondaryIpAddressof a GlbpGroupSetting conflicts with the following.

–IpAddress of IpNetworkInterface.

–virtualIpAddress of other GlbpGroupSetting.

–secondaryIpAddress of other GlbpGroupSetting.

–NetworkInterface is a Voice VLAN Enabled Interface.

2. groupName of a GlbpGroupSetting conflicts with groupName of other GlbpGroupSettings in a device
