FTP via F5

Is there any way to determine whether there is any (live) FTP traffic passing through an F5 load balancer?

Hi Michael,

 

You could check the connection table on the cli:

tmsh show sys connection

 

Cheers,

 

Kees

Hi Kees,

 

Thanks for your feedback.

Some questions:

 

1. After the connection table (from executing tmsh show sys connection) has been displayed, should I press Ctrl-C, in order to return to the command prompt?

 

 

2. The output, shown below, indicates that there is zero live FTP traffic, right?

 

user01@(LB01)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# show sys connection cs-client-port 21

Sys::Connections

Total records returned: 0

 

 

Regards,

Michael Feliciano
