BIG IP maximum number of nodes

Hi all,

 

 

in F5 BIG-IP, after a virtual IP and a pool are created, how many members can I add ? Is there a limit ?

 

 

I've got the same question for the possible number of virtual IP and pools ...

 

 

Thanks for your reply,

 

 

Best Regards,

    I know there's a limit to the size of the configuration file, but it's a pretty large limit.

     

     

    How many of members, VIPs and pools are you looking to add?

  • Thank you for your reply.

     

     

    We are going to add more than 100 servers (in a Terminal Server farm).

     

     

    For the moment, we use 2 NLB farms but, with NLB, the max number of hosts is 32. We are working on F5 Big-IP for a "real" load balancing solution ...

     

     

    I'm just wondering if there was a such limit with the number of members. I can't find this information in F5 docs.
  • Colin,

     

     

    What is that actual for the limit on the config file? I may be running into it.

     

     

    thanks,
