AltocumulusHelp with Local Traffic Policy with streaming app. and basic understanding.
This is a homelab to have a better understanding of F5 BIG-IP and appercaite any help. For testing purpose I have setup a PLEX server for streaming service and will be setting up a Horizon View UAGs...
Hey, Paulius, thank you again for the tcpdump switches. That helped me find the reset message. I started looking into how to debug this more, which has been a great learning experience. I noticed in the log that when trying from the mobile device, the HTTP_Request for the Host has :443, but accessing from a web GUI or macOS app, it did not. Both policy and iRule had equal to abc.domain.com. I updated the iRule and policy to include or and now it works. See below for iRule. I like the policy features, but it was great to work with iRules too.
if { [HTTP::host] equals "abc.domain.com" or [HTTP::host] equals "abc.domain.com:443" }

AltocumulusHey Paulius,
After running the tcpdump switches, I see that the F5 sent a reset with the message "No server selected." I'll look into creating an iRule as well. Also, I'm going to research this error.

AltocumulusAccording to F5 docs. "Couldn't open a connection to a pool member. This is typically the result of an iRule, Policy, or configuration that prevents the BIG-IP from choosing a pool member." I'll keep poking around and see why this happening.

VinceBlack If you can provide the configuration we can most likely come up with a solution rather quick. If you need to redact names please do so.
