F5 LTM Traffic Policy - ignore action

In LTM Policy, when action set to "Ignore" - 

what is the outcome?

Is the traffic that matches the ignore action rule, continues to the pool configured in VS and to the security Policy configured in VS. e.g AntiBot, DDOS profiles 

 

Update:

Unable to publish this policy:

Error: policy rule is missing an action controlling 'bot-defense'

 

  • Hi Emil_T

    Ignore = do nothing when this condition is met. 

    but in this scenario you need to control your Bot-defense action , so you can do something like that: 

    edit the second rule "default" then choose all traffic but enable the bot defense profile on it.

    It will be published without issues. 
    No needs to add a Bot defense profile in the virtual server, because the LTM Policy with handle and control it so that it requests from you to put all possibilities ( disable/enable ) under conditions.
