Thanks Patrik for the reply !

 

May you please help give some advice on the statements below ?

 

10.0.0.3 is the F5 BIG-IP 1600's virtual server IP

 

10.0.0.1 is the IP of Server A, 10.0.0.2 is the IP of Server B.

 

Both Server A & Server B belong to the same pool while Server A has higher proirity than Server B.

 

The timeout value of the persistence profile = 604800 seconds

 

This persistence profile is used by the virtual server

 

When we telnet 10.0.0.3 with some TCP port(s), the telnet session can be kept as "connected" status for around 8 minutes. Afterwards, the telnet session will be broken down suddenly.

 

The telnet session to 10.0.0.3 is telnet to exactly 10.0.0.1 at the background.

 

However, the telnet session can be kept always connected when we directly telnet to 10.0.0.1

 

Why the telnet session to F5's virtual server IP is suddenly broken down ?

 

Is it related to timeout value ?

 

Thanks very much !
