Multiple Persistence Profiles

Hello,

 

 

I have a general question. From the F5 LTM GUI I am not able to assign multiple persistence profiles to a virtual server. I can assign it a default persistence profile and a backup profile. However, from the iControl APIs I can indeed assign multiple persistence profiles to a virtual server such as cookie perisistence and source address persistence. When I look at the virtual server from the GUI it lists the word "multiple" on the default persistence window and "none" for the backup profile.

 

 

Questions:

 

 

1. How does the F5 handle multiple persistence profiles?

 

2. Are they stacked in the order they were received such that if one cannot be used it tries the next one?

 

3. How do I tell what profile is being used?

 

 

Regards,
