ltm vip port list
ltm vip with port list what happens when one or two of the port is down will it cause the vip down
hsahar1 I wouldn't do a port list, I would split the virtual server up on a per destination IP and destination port.

i have a vip with 50 services
why you think its better vip with the specific port

1. You have a better security posture on the F5 by splitting these ports up.
2. You remove dependencies of a port working because another unrelated port isn't working.
3. You can change the TCP/UDP connection details on a per port basis.
hello hsahar1
If you have an F5 LTM VIP configured with a list of ports, and one or two of those ports become unavailable due to a server issue, the VIP itself will not automatically go down. Please let me know if you done any testing relating to it

thank you
will i be able to see winch port fail ? by log or any show command line ?
The status of the virtual server typically relies on the status of the default pool and health check monitor that is bound to it. The virtual server will only show as offline if *ALL* pool members fail their load balancer health checks. This is true for virtual servers that use traffic-matching-criteria (such as port lists and address-lists). You can't check the status of the virtual server that is using a port list by a port-by-port basis; the virtual server statistics are aggregated for all ports.
