Need clarification on working of profiles.

Hi, I had created a profile named say abc with parent profile 'http' in common partition.

 

Created a VIP in another partition and linked the profile abc to it.

 

Will the profile in common partition will be called under another partition?

 

Kindly explain on the operation of this scenario.

 

Thanks

 

Senthil

    I'm not sure what you mean by called, but it is possible to use profiles in the common partition in other partitions. Here's an example from one of my test boxes:

    ltm virtual /partition1/testvip {
    destination /partition1/192.168.100.61:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        /Common/httptest { }
        /Common/tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        /partition1/testrule
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port enabled
}

    1. Yes
    2. No (ex- a profile from partition1 cannot be used in partition2)
    3. No (ex- a profile from partition1 cannot be used in common)
