Create different contexts in F5 LTM

Hi,

 

What is the best method to create different load balancing contexts in a F5 LTM device? I am trying to migrate LB service from Cisco ACE to F5 LTM. Existing ACE has got 4 different contexts. How do I replicate that to LTM?

    If I understand Cisco ACE contexts correctly, they are essentially virtualized Cisco ACEs. If you want completely separate Virtualized BIG-IPs, you will need to be licensed for vCMP and have vCMP capable hardware.

     

    If you are just looking for administrative partitioning, you can set up administrative partitions under System, Users, Partitions.

     

    You can read about vCMP here: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15930

     

    Administrative partitions should be covered in the LTM manuals.
