When referencing a Virtual Service, the IP address, port and protocol can be used. The VS index can also be used, which replaces those three parameters.

To get the VS index (Index parameter), and to list the settings for the existing Virtual Services, run the ListVS command:

curl -k https://bal:1fourall@20.200.25.100/access/listvs
