How to create wide IP for generic host?

Hi Darren,

 

I ran into very scenario during internal training sessions about the GTM. The one thing you have to remember is that you have to change your mindset from the F5 perspective of how it views the order of configuration.

 

 

Here is the following order of creation in generalization.

 

 

Data Center --> Servers --> Virtual Servers --> pool --> Topology (optional) ---> WideIP

 

 

That being said you must remember that Generic host is really a device that has many virtual services. When seen in this fashion all general hosts need a virtual server even if the IP address is the same. For example you can have a general host 192.168.1.1 but then you need a virtual service which is 192.168.1.1 port 80. So the rule of thumb is to always understand that General Host requires a virtual service.

 

 

I hope this helps
