AltostratusLoadbalancing issue
Guys i have two pool members listening on same ports 443, 3151 and 8090. They want the F5 to loadbalncer to the second node if the primary node stops listening on just one port for example 80 and c...
You can do something like:
One virtual server (Ex. 4.4.4.4:*), with one pool with two wildcard pool members (1.1.1.1:* Priority 2, 1.1.1.2:* Priority 1).
The pool will need several settings like Action on Service Down set to Reject, and Priority Group Activation set to 'Less than 1'.
Last but not least you will need to create and assign the pool three custom monitors (one per port, 80, 3151, 8090).
Hope that helps.

AltostratusBrother i do know about Priority group activation. But the problem is they want to failover to the secondary node only if one port on the primary fails, and consider the whole primary node regardless of the other working ports.
