AltostratusHello, I am learning about F5 cookie persistence, and I have searched through many of posts.
I curious that when we use cookie passive method, how can F5 know that which client belongs to which servers. Where does F5 store the information, i have try to look at persistence record in GUI as statistics ›› Module Statistics : Local Traffic ›› Persistence Records. But not found anything.
MVPYou will not find anything. F5 doesnt care... since passive mode is where the server and client interact with cookies and the normal timeout/expiration is evaluated by the server when a cookie is presented back on subsequent connections.
AltostratusAre you looking for the current connection table on your LTM? You can see this using the tmsh shell. The command "show sys connection"

AltostratusIn passive mode there is nothing created or stored on the LTM. The cookie is generated by the pool member on the initial connection. This cookie is only inspected by the LTM to direct the client back to the same member if it is supplied by the client on further communications.
