Aug 22, 2013Change fastL4 profile in iRule
Hi,
Is it possible to change which fastL4 profile you are using from within an iRule?
My situation is that I need to have an indefinite idle timeout on connections from certain ip addresses, idea...

Aug 22, 2013no, you can't change the L4 profiles in stream. What you could do is set up three vips, one front-end vip and two back-end vips, setting the front-end and one back-end to indefinite, then the other back-end to a limited timeout, and use the front-end vip to switch the traffic. Still has the risk of port exhaustion if you get flood attacked on the front-end, but you could add policing logic into your front-end iRule for the connections not specifically allowed for indefinite timeouts.
