Consider the following parent-child topology in which the GSLB sites are distributed globally.

Site1 and Site2 are the parent sites.
Site1_child1 and Site1_child2 are the child sites of Site1.
Site2_child1 and Site2_child2 are the child sites of Site2.

The following commands illustrate the complete configuration of the parent-child topology.

site1

add gslb site site1 10.102.82.164 -publicIP 10.102.82.164

add gslb site site2 10.106.24.164 -publicIP 10.106.24.164
