Current connections vs CLI show sys connections

I have a performance layer 4 VS configured to listen on port 1137 and sending traffic to one server who is also listening on 1137. When I click on the pool member statistics, it shows the current connections as 150, but when I’m in the command line interface and do a “show sys connections” its only showing 15 entries. What gives? Why is there such a large discrepancy between the two?

    Have you go the same result with the command " show sys connection cs-server-addr <ip_address-Virtual-server> " ?

    Hi Dan,

     

    I would agree that seems odd that they are different. Can you provide the exact command you are using as well as the software version you have installed?

    The exact command i'm using in CLI is "show sys connections | grep 1.1.1.1". 1.1.1.1 being the VIP address. Software version is v14.1.0.5.
