Nimbostratushowto Persistence irules
Hi all,
I need to configure persistence. I've got a pool of 8 proxies, I need that when clients use OCS (so I think using a sticky persistence, based on the destination ip of the Office Communcation Server), they connect only to one node of the 8 proxies.
How can I do that?
Thank you very much.
P.s.: I've a BigIp 3400 with software version BIG-IP 9.3.0 Build 194.1

If you want to persist a client based on the destination IP address, you can create a custom destination address affinity persistence profile with a /32 mask and add it to the virtual server.
Or do you want to hardcode the VIP to only use one specific pool member when it's a request for a specific destination IP address? If the latter, you'd probably need a specific virtual server or an iRule on the current virtual server.

Yes, this is my case. How can I create the iRule? - lantuin_53437up
- hoolioIf it's one specific destination IP address you want to handle differently, it might be most efficient to create a more specific virtual server with a destination of the destination IP. If you want to use the single, more general virtual server and an iRule, you could use IP::local_addr (Click here) in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event to check the destination IP. You could then select the pool member using the pool command (Click here). The wiki pages for both commands have some relevant examples.
