Password

Use this command to set a password. This password is used for authentication between the GLB and the server. The same password must be set on both, otherwise the two will not be able to sync.

Before you begin:

• You must have read-write permission for global load balancing settings.

Syntax

config global-load-balance setting

set auth-type <none/TCP_MD5SIG/auth_verify>

set password <string>

end

auth-type	Select one of the following: none TCP_MD5SIG auth_verify
password	If you choose TCP_MD5SIG or auth_verify for auth-type, then you must enter the corresponding password.
