Hi , 

My LB is balancing fronted servers and; frond end connecting to backend .

in the event of backend stop, can we make or configure LB to stop forwarding traffic to Front End,

 

Thank you

  • You can create a health monitor that monitors an alternate IP and port which that alternate could be the backend servers. Alternatively, you can create an iRule that references the pool status of the backend servers and if none are available you can do multiple things such as dropping the connect, reject the connection, or even respond with a maintenance or outage page.
