Conventions

HTTP Keepalive with GET

GET is issued to the backend service, and a checksum on the page is computed and stored by the switch as a reference point. Subsequent GETs require a 200 OK status, and they require that the checksum equal the reference checksum. If a non-200 status is returned (after the 15 second timer period) or if a 200 status is returned, but the checksum is different, the service is considered down. If the page that is accessed for the keepalive changes, suspend and activate the service for a new checksum to be calculated.

TCP Keepalive with POST

Refer to the HTTP Keepalive with GET section for more information.

HTTP Keepalive with HEAD

HEAD is issued and a 200 OK status is required. No checksum is computed for this type of keepalive.

This output provides a GET example:

service Web_Server
ip address 10.10.4.221
keepalive type http
keepalive method get
keepalive uri "/index.html"
port 80
protocol tcp
active

Keepalive Status

Issue the show keepalive-summary command in order to show all keepalives. Issue the show keepalive [service] command in order to see full keepalive details.
