## Enable the Switch Ports

Before you enable the switch ports on the network, ensure that you have set up the switch, the server, and the client for each server in the SLB group, as described in the previous sections.

1. Enable the switch ports on the server network.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/15-18
       SEFOS(config-if-range)# no shutdown
       SEFOS(config-if-range)# exit

2. Enable the switch ports on the client network.

       SEFOS(config)# interface range extreme-ethernet 0/3-6
       SEFOS(config-if-range)# no shutdown
       SEFOS(config-if-range)# end

3. Test the SLB configuration.

       SEFOS# show slb

       SLB Group ID: 1 Virtual IP: 10.10.10.0/24
       Server Members:
       IP Address       Vlan  MacAddress        Port State     Comments
       ================ ====  ================= ==== ========= ==================
       192.0.0.1        1     00:14:4f:53:6e:e0   15 ACTIVE
       192.0.0.2        1     00:14:4f:6c:bf:00   16 ACTIVE
       192.0.0.3        1     00:14:4f:20:12:01   17 ACTIVE
       192.0.0.4        1     00:14:4f:18:05:30   18 STANDBY   (up)

   It might take up to 30 seconds for the server status to show. If executing the `slb show` command does not show the server status, repeat the command every few seconds until it shows the status. If no status appears after 30 seconds, ensure that you have correctly completed the preceding steps.

   For information about the status of a server member, see Conditions for a Member Participating in Load Distribution.

   The client should now be able to reach the virtual server using the VIP, as follows:

       client1% ping 10.10.10.1

       10.10.10.1 is alive
