10-3: SLB Probes
â– Probes can be used to test for server or firewall connectivity and proper operation.
â– Probes can be defined to simulate requests for these protocols:
â– ICMP: Sends ICMP echo (ping) requests to a real server.
â– HTTP: Sends HTTP requests to a real server, using TCP port 80.
â– WSP: Requests and verifies the replies using Wireless Access Protocol (WAP),
port 9201.
â– Telnet: Opens and closes a Telnet connection (TCP port 23) to a real server.
â– TCP: Establishes and resets TCP connections to a real server. This can be used
to support any TCP port, including HTTPS or SSL, port 443.
