How are changes applied to the configuration?

Hi!

 

 

I'm new here, and I already got questions! Here we go:

 

 

When I make change to, say, an http profile that is already assigned to one or more Virtual Servers, how is this change applied to the runtime environment.

 

 

Example:

 

 

http_test profile is assigned to http_test_VS. In the profile editor I update the profile with a Fallback Host address and I check the X-Forwarded_For checkbox.

 

 

Question: What happens to my traffic that is flowing through the BIG-IP? Is it handled transparently or are user transactions affected by these updates? I couldn't find anything in F5's documentation, which I found extremely strange....

 

 

Thanks!
