There are two sections to configure on the Alcatel switch as a part of the
solution. The first part configures the “servers” and “server groups”. The term
“server” here refers to the AntiVirusFirewall (AVF) server device. In the second
part the user roles are configured with the policies instructing the Alcatel
switch to redirect the different types of traffic to different “server groups”
Configuring the ESI servers

will wait for a response to its health check query before marking it as a
failed health check.
