Configure Health Monitor for Netbios Name Server UDP/137 on F5 big-ip

Hello Hoolio,

 

 

Thanks for your answer. Your first option is very interesting. I already was thinking about it but I though it were no possible to replicate a query netbios packet from a string. I can capture a query and reply netbios packet using a sniffer but the most important thing is to know what info copy to paste it on big-ip.

 

 

From the sniffer capture I could get the packet info in hex or ascii format. Which format is best? I think the hex format is best because in ascii there's a lot of bytes missing (lots of .. ..). But how could I paste the hex bytes in the monitor string of big-ip?

 

 

Thanks for your comments.
