Loadbalancing issue
What i want, is lets say i have two servers in a poot member listening on below ports
Ports: 80, 8090 and 3151
Node: 1.1.1.1
Node: 1.1.1.2
Lets say first node with a priority of 1 (1.1.1.1) stop listening on port 80 but other ports are working ex: 3151 and 8090
automatically i want the f5 to consider the node 1.1.1.1 down on all ports and start shifting the traffic to the standby node 1.1.1.2
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.
