Sample Program - Multiple Functions

  • Last updated on

This program uses most of the API calls described in the article API Descriptions. It performs the following functions:

  • Adds a Service and a Real Server;
  • Shows the Service and Real Server state before and after setting the state of the Real Server to maintenance mode;
  • Deletes the Real Server and the Service.

You can copy and paste this code into a file and save it as sample.pl. Edit the IP addresses – 10.5.126.63 should be the WAN IP address of the Barracuda Load Balancer, 192.168.132.214 is the VIP address of a Service, and 15.15.15.11 is the IP address of a Real Server. Change the password to the API password for the Barracuda Load Balancer.

To run sample.pl, at a command prompt type:
perl sample.pl

sample.pl
