NimbostratusF5 related question:how to find how particular URL in F5 if we have hundreds of F5 products
You are in an environment with hundreds of F5s and thousands of URLs -someone said one of yourURLs,,how would you find which F5 appliance that URL resides on?
Hi Rakesh_a ,
I would recommend to do the below steps , it will help :
- First , Make a dns resolution for that url , I want you to see which IP is mapped to this "FQDN host name ".
- After getting this Ip , check if this Ip network exists in routing tables in your perimeter firewall or edge router , I think you'll be able to see the path of this Ip network .
- After getting this network , you need only to review your hops till reach out to your F5 that serves this url.
NOTE : you have a hop makes destination NAT like perimeter Firewalls , so you should review your NAT rules for this IP.
If you don't get it, you can share with me an overview of your design as a network devices to help you how to get it , if this available with you .
