Managing GSLB Data Centers

How do I manage GSLB data centers in BIG-IQ?

Create a GLSB data center to contain the servers that reside on a subnet of your network.

You can view the GSLB data centers configured for the DNS sync groups you manage by navigating to Configuration > DNS > GSLB > Data Centers . From there, click an data center to view it, or click Create to set up a new one.

Create a GSLB data center

You create a GSLB data center so that you contain the servers that reside on a subnet of your network.
  1. At the top of the screen, click Configuration, then, on the left, click DNS > GSLB > Data Centers .
    The screen displays the list of data centers defined on this device.
  2. Click Create.
    The New Data Center screen opens.
  3. Type a Name for the GSLB data center.
  4. Select the Sync Group for the data center.
  5. Specify the additional settings needed to suit the requirements for this data center.
    Name and Sync Group are the only required parameters when you create a data center. The remaining parameters on this screen are optional and perform the same function as they do when you configure a data center 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.
  6. Click Save & Close.
    The system creates the new data center and adds it to the list of data centers.

Edit a GSLB data center

You can view and modify the properties for existing GSLB data centers. Since you are working with an existing data center, you can modify only some settings.
  1. At the top of the screen, click Configuration, then, on the left, click DNS > GSLB > Data Centers .
    The screen displays the list of data centers defined on this device.
  2. Click the name of the data center you want to edit.
    Note: Unless noted here, the parameters on this screen perform the same function as they do when you configure a data center 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 data center.
  3. Make the changes to the settings that you want to revise and then, when your edits are complete, click Save & Close.
    The system updates the data center with the settings you specified.
