NimbostratusCisco ACE Probe to F5 monitor
The retry option is used when configuring inband monitors, so this is nothing like the faildetect parameter from Cisco. The BIG-IP uses the interval and timeout parameters to achieve a faildetect. For example, the default interval is 5 seconds and a timeout of 16 seconds. This would be a faildetect of 3, since only 3 probes would fit into the timeout of 16 seconds.
In your Cisco example the interval is set to 30 seconds. If you would apply a faildetect of 6, you would use a timeout of 181 seconds, because it will take 6 probes before the timeout of 181 seconds is reached.
The pass detect parameter would be replaced by the ‘time until up’ parameter.
This parameter delays the marking of a pool member or node as up for the specified number of seconds after receiving the first correct response. When this attribute is set to 0 (the default value), the BIG-IP system marks the resource as up immediately after receiving the first correct response.
