HTTP Probe

An HTTP probe establishes an HTTP connection to a real server and then sends an HTTP request and

verifies the response. The ip slb probe probe-name http command places the user in HTTP probe

configuration submode.

To configure an HTTP probe, perform this task:

Command

Step 1

Router(config)# ip slb probe

probe-name http

Step 2

Router(config-slb-probe-http)#

credentials username [password]
