CirrusHelp with adding Syslog collectors
NimbostratusI did not understand what is the end goal.
If just add 2 new servers and do round robin, yes, just add the 2 new servers to the pool.
If you want to duplicate packets, you can use the clone pool option in the virtual server setup. However, that will only clone once, not 3 times.
If you need 3 times, I guess you need iRules to do that.
Thomson_ThomasThanks Leonardo the intention is to send the same traffic to 4 different destinations/servers

If I used the stateless virtual server type would this accomplish the same thing? From what I have been reading it is used to forward traffic to syslog collectors.

By default, even for UDP traffic, F5 creates a connection in the connection table to track the connection.
In some cases you don't want that, so you can use the stateless virtual server.
That is similar to use idle timeout immediate in the UDP profile, as that removes the connection immediately after is added to the table.However, like other virtual server types, it just sends the traffic once to the pool member.
So, it does not help with your requirement. - Thomson_Thomas
Thanks so it will send traffic once to one of the pool members and not every pool member? Also is there an issue mixing tcp and udp in a pool, since the VIP is listening on UDP?
- Leonardo_Souza3
First question, yes.
You can't have a virtual server with TCP and pool with UDP, or vice versa.
