Pool members hostname

An alternate option I learned is to use screen names for the nodes in the conf file. With this I can use the hostname instead of IP address with the commands.

 

 

Using a little script, I could use the screen name facility to reference the IP address to hostname wherever command output shows only IP addresses.

 

 

Since I manage the LB mostly using CLI, this is useful. I like the output of the virtual show command as it gives the logical hierarchy of VIP -> VS - > Pool -> Members.

 

 

With the script, I can get the status of all of the above in one shot.
