CISCO-SLB-EXT-MIB
The extended MIB for managing Server Load Balancing Manager(s). This MIB extends the SLB management functionality in the CISCO-SLB-MIB. The Cisco Content Switching Module (CSM) product is the first SLB product to support this MIB. SLB: Server Load Balancing. Server load balancing provides for the balancing of packets and connections arriving at the SLB device across a number of other devices, such as real servers, firewalls, or caches. A system containing an SLB device typically exhibits higher performance, scalability, and reliability than any of the devices being load balanced. An SLB device determines how to handle incoming frames and connections according to the contents of incoming data and various configuration options. In determining how to handle incoming data, an SLB device may examine the data at any OSI layer, including Layer 7. This MIB includes instrumentation for the manager-side implementation of the Dynamic Feedback Protocol (DFP). A DFP manager uses the DFP protocol to communicate with DFP agents in order to obtain information about the current load and available capacity of devices.
