Active connections still sent to Pool member marked down by monitor

Hi Jozef,

 

In case you are using OneConnect (for http only) you will notice that due to the request switching mode a pool member state will be taken into account.

 

So the basic behaviour remains unchanged (keep-alive connection between BIG-IP and poolmember is still up until you modify the action on service down settings), but new requests are only forwarded to available poolmembers only.

 

Be aware, that OneConnect maintains serverside connections, even if the client already closed it´s connection to the virtual server.

 

That´s why configuration changes may not always have an immediate effect if OneConnect is applied as changes will work for new connections only.

 

Thanks, Stephan
