GTM/DNS and LTM - iQuery via Mgmt Ort Self-ip

Hey Guys, is it possible to connect the GTMs and LTMs (for dataexchange via iquery) via the mgmt interface and is there a best practice to do this via mgmt interface OR a configured self-ip?

Hello eneR

 

"An iQuery connection is defined as an SSL connection on port 4353 from a local gtmd process to the big3d process on a remote or local BIG-IP server. When big3d starts, it listens for port 4353 on all configured self IP addresses and the management interface IP address."

I recommend you to use always the TMM instead of Mgmt interface.

 

KR, Dario.
