GTM Wide IP Load Balancing Precedence

I have a wide IP with topology load-balancing method, but what I really would like is to use the Pool Load-Balancing method of "Hop", if I select "Topology" under wide IP and "Hop" under Pool which one will take precedence?

  • The choice under wide IP is the choice made about which pool to use. The choice under Pool is to select which pool member to use. It is not a matter of precedence, it is 2 different choices.

     

    Do you have multiple pools under the wide IP? If not, then it will select the 1 pool you have, and use Hop when selecting a member of that pool.

     

  • Thanks thats what I thought, my initial thinking was to use Topology, but I only plan to have one pool and under the pool have several servers to use, so I will use HOP load-balancing under pool to make selection based on the closest server.
