Configuring GSLB Objects
Steps for configuration
Setting up an application for use with FortiAppSec Cloud GSLB involves the following steps:
-
Add Virtual Servers to manage connections between your application and external resources. GSLB supports two types of virtual servers — fabric connectors and data centers. For configuration instructions, see Fabric connector or Data Center.
-
Create Virtual Server Pools. Pools group your virtual servers together, allowing you to configure load balancing rules across them. See Virtual Server Pool for configuration instructions.
-
Configure an FQDN for your application. These map your domain name to a Virtual Server Pool. See FQDN for configuration instructions.
Those using FortiADC, FortiGate, and FortiWeb can easily connect their services to GSLB with One-Click. One-Click enabled connectors automatically set up an FQDN. Therefore, if you choose to set up your application using the One-Click method, you don't need to perform this step manually.

Allow 1 to 2 minutes for GSLB to reload with the updated configurations. |
Troubleshooting
- Click on the left-most icon in the top right corner to see your Assigned DNS server addresses.
The Primary Anycast IP refers to the IP address returned for the One Click GSLB Server. However, in all other aspects, the Primary and Secondary IP addresses are equivalent and either one can be used for domain management tools that only require one address. - Use the DNS tool dig to query the service with one of your IP addresses.
