Basic Http Load balancing
Hello all,
I'm very new to F5. I have installed the virtual lab edition. I have three web servers with just a basic page. I have added them as nodes, and created a pool that contains those node. If I go to each IP from a browser, I get the expected page. If I telnet from the F5 appliance to port 80, to each of them, I also get the expected page.
I have attempted to setup a virtual server, with type "Standard", put the destination address, tried with/without selecting "http" as the Http Profile, and selected the pool that I created.
If go to a browser and type http://, it gives me page cannot be displayed. If I go to the F5 virtual appliance command line and telnet to the virtual server ip on port 80, and do a get / http/1.1, it does return the page. However, from any external client, even on the same subnet, it doesn't. I can ping the virtual server ip from anywhere without issue.. On the summary page, every time I see the same amount of connections accepted and abandoned
However, if I create a virtual server using the type "Performance (HTTP)". it works as expected.
Every video I've seen though, people have selected standard and it works, so not sure why it doesn't work for me. I'm using the Lab edition v13 - 11.6.0 (Build 0.0.401)
