NimbostratusLoad Balancer to web servers
NimbostratusYou need to use a different IP address for your virtual server. If the two web servers are in the same subnet as the IP address you use for the virtual server you'll need to activate SNAT Automap. If your not doing ssl offloading on the F5 that should be enough. If you are doing ssl offloading you'll need to create a client ssl profile with the certificate and private key for the website. You'll need to activate both the client-ssl profile and a server-ssl profile on your virtual server. You might also want to use an https health monitor for your pool.
Hope this helps!
NimbostratusHi, Following above suggestions, I have applied these changes:
- WebServer1 is on 10.10.10.56 listening on https 9343
- WebServer1 is on 10.10.10.58 listening on https 9343
On linux system hosting the F5 BIG IP, I configured : - a network interface with ip 10.10.10.54 communicating with 10.10.10.56 and 10.10.10.58; - F5 management interface is on IP 1.1.1.54; - Defined Virtual Server , with Destination address 9.A.B.54 , port 443 - https;
with Source addresses 0.0.0.0/0, with Client and Server SSL profiles;
with node members associated to the web servers 10.10.10.56 and 10.10.10.56 (up and running OK);
But if I launch from external client browser : it opens the F5 Management Interface instead of redirect to one of web servers
I see only for less than 1 second a string "redirect" in the middle of browser page, but it returns to the F5 management interface
