Managing GSLB Pools

How do I manage GSLB pools in BIG-IQ?

Virtual server pools host the content for which your wide IPs load balance the traffic in your GSLB domain.

You can view the GSLB pools configured for the DNS sync groups you manage by navigating to Configuration > DNS > GSLB > Pools . From there, click a pool to edit it, or click Create to set up a new one.

Create a GSLB pool

Create a GSLB pool so that you can manage the virtual servers that host the content of your domain.
  1. At the top of the screen, click Configuration, then, on the left, click DNS > GSLB > Pools .
    The screen displays the list of pools defined on this device.
  2. Click Create.
    The New Pool screen opens.
  3. Type a Name for the GSLB pool.
  4. Select a Sync Group for the pool.
  5. Select the Type of pool.
  6. Specify the additional settings needed to suit the requirements for this pool.
    Name, Sync Group, and Type are the only required parameters when you create a pool. The remaining parameters on this screen are optional and perform the same function as they do when you configure a pool on a BIG-IP device.
    Note: For details about the purpose or function of a particular setting, refer to the BIG-IP reference information on support.f5.com.
  7. Click Save & Close.
    The system creates the new pool and adds it to the list of pools.

Edit a GSLB pool

You can view and modify the properties for existing GSLB pools. Since you are working with an existing pool, you can modify only some settings.
  1. At the top of the screen, click Configuration, then, on the left, click DNS > GSLB > Pools .
    The screen displays the list of pools defined on this device.
  2. Click the name of the pool you want to edit.
    Note: Unless noted here, the parameters on this screen perform the same function as they do when you configure a pool on a BIG-IP device. For details about the purpose or function of a particular setting, refer to the BIG-IP reference information on support.f5.com.
    The screen displays the current settings for the selected pool.
  3. Make the changes to the settings you want to revise and then, when your edits are complete, click Save & Close.
    The system updates the pool with the settings you specified.
