Sep 19, 2012Hi Meng,
When determining the order of precedence applied to new inbound connections, the BIG-IP uses an algorithm which places a higher precedence on the address netmask and a lesser emphasis on the port. BIG-IP sets virtual server precedence according to the following criteria:
•The first precedent of the algorithm chooses the virtual server that has the longest subnet match for the incoming connection.
•If the number of bits in the subnet mask match, the algorithm then chooses the virtual server that has a port match.
•If no port match is found, the algorithm uses the wildcard server, if a wildcard virtual server is defined.
•A wildcard address has a netmask length of zero, thus it has a lower precedence than any matching virtual server with a defined address.
This results in the following order of precedence:
