Oct 28, 2009Cisco CSS cookie persistency
We are migrating from Cisco CSS' to F5s and I have a question on cookie persistence on the CSS.
On the CSS, I have "advanced-balance arrowpoint-cookie" configured for persistence.
On the F5, is that the same as "Insert mode"?
thanks

Based on this cisco doc, I'd say yes it is like the LTM cookie insert persistence.

The CSS allows you to use cookies or URL strings to stick to a particular server. In the past, this has required the Web hosters to modify their applications to set particular cookies or strings in the URL. In WebNS 4.0, the CSS is capable of generating cookies so that Web applications do not need to be modified.

I did a similar migration a few years ago and I can confirm the like functionality. - opers13_3280

Not sure if this will be seen or not, might need to create a new subject, but we are currently going through the same migration. The subject answers my basic question with regards to the F5 vs CSS and using arrowpoint-cookie, but we have a configuration for an expiration timer. Is there any documentation on setting a cookie expiration?

but we have a configuration for an expiration timer. Is there any documentation on setting a cookie expiration? of course.
