Port
Enter
the

port

number

that

the

probe

is

to

use.

By

default,

the

uses

port

inheritance

to

determine
the

Request
Method

Type
Type
of

HTTP

request

method

that

is

to

be

used

for

this

probe.
Choose
one

of

the

following:

•
N/A—This
option

is

not

defined.

•
Get—The
HTTP

request

method

is

a

GET

with
a
URL

of

“/”.

This
request

method

directs

the
server
to

get

the

page,

and

the

ACE

calculates

a

hash

value

for

the

content

of

the

page.

If

the
page
content

information

changes,

the

hash

value

no

longer

matches

the

original

hash

value

and
the
ACE

assumes

the

service

is

down.

This

is

the

default

request

method.

•
Head—The
server

is

to
only

get

the

header

for

the

page.

Using

this

method

can

prevent

the

ACE
from
assuming

that

the

service

is

down

due

to

changed

content

and

therefore

changed

hash
