Connections Limitation

Dear Dev Team,

 

 

We have two nodes in a pool.

 

 

Is it possible to limit the number of connections/requests from the F5 to each server to 500 per server at same time?

 

 

Best Regards,

 

Adam

 

doesn't connection limit per pool member work?

 

Could someone help on this?

Pls let me know what will be best option to this?

 

 

Is it best to do it via iRule ? or through connection limit via GUI?

cheer!

If you can achieve what you're looking for via the standard connection limit option in the GUI/CLI, then I recommend doing it that way. You certainly could do this via an iRule but it will be more overhead and more work to maintain long term than a simple option in the config would be.
