Nov 05, 2009deleting current active connections on a BigIP
Hi All,
I am trying to find a way to kill (terminate) a user's connection based on an IP address. I used the following command
config b conn client 10.27.9.113 show
10.27.9.113:2867 <-> 10.29.225.6:https <-> 10.22.132.41:http tcp 1/0
config b conn client 10.27.9.113 delete
But it is not terminating the connection. How can I terminate a user based on the source IP?

Have you tried "b conn 10.27.9.113 delete" ?

yes. I tried that command. It removes the connection from the connections table on the BigIP but on the client side the session is still up. I want to send a TCP reset to the client killing the connection completely. Is this possible?

I don't think there is a explicit command to send a connection reset to the client. Perhaps someone in the forum
However, there might be indirect method of closing a connection
here is a ask.f5.com solution article that talks about the various ways to send a IP TCP reset on a BIGIP

I hope this helps

On v10.0.1, I set up an SSH vip, opened an SSH connection and then deleted it:
b conn client 10.254.1.66 delete
A tcpdump on the client showed that it received a RST from the LTM, and my SSH session was closed with:
[root@webs ~] Read from remote host 10.254.1.22: Connection reset by peer
Connection to 10.254.1.22 closed.
So it seems to work for me.Though, I did notice that the LTM will not send a RST if "Reset on timeout" is disabled in the TCP profile for the vip. But, it is enabled by default.
Another way is to use the "b conn" command to specify an idle timeout of 1. This should cause a RST to be sent because of an idle timeout:
b conn client 10.254.1.66 idle timeout 1
Hope this helps - Anthony_7417Historic F5 AccountActually, I was on 9.4.7, not v10.

both bigpipe and tmsh have an option to show/delete specific connection.
e.g.[root@ve10:Active] config b virtual bar list virtual bar { snat automap pool foo destination 172.28.19.79:22 ip protocol 6 } [root@ve10:Active] config b pool foo list pool foo { members 200.200.200.101:22 {} } bigpipe [root@ve10:Active] config b conn server 172.28.19.79:22 show 192.168.206.55:54425 <-> 172.28.19.79:22 <-> 200.200.200.101:22 6 1/0 tmsh root@ve10(Active)(tmos) show sys connection cs-server-addr 172.28.19.79 cs-server-port 22 Sys::Connections 192.168.206.55:54425 172.28.19.79:22 200.200.200.101:22 tcp 0 Total records returned: 1 - Kleython_Kell_5

I can see the conection, I have two conections with the same client
example client 10.10.4.30, one connection ssh and other https.
I just delete the specific https connection, but not find how to do this
I find just how to delete all connections for this client: b conn client 10.10.4.30 delete
but how to delete only the https conection for this cliente?
thanks - nitass
