persistence accross virtual servers (RADIUS calling station id AND SRC IP Address)

Hello Dev's, I am looking to see if this is possible on F5 11.x code.

 

I would like to maintain persistence using:

 

RADIUS 'calling station id' AND DHCP traffic (using SR IP or other method)

 

I would like to ensure that both DHCP and RADIUS requests are persistent to the same SERVER. I am looking for a way to 'bind' these two virtual servers ie, sticky table entry together so that both DHCP and RADIUS always go to the same server from the same client. In other works: Client1 RADIUS Traffic >>>>> Server1 Client1 DHCP Traffic >>>>>>> Server1

 

Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks a lot,

    I need to create an iRule that will parse and provide persistence on the RADIUS Calling station id which is the MAC of the endpoint as well as the MAC in the DHCP request, that should guarantee me the same server from the endpoint.

     

    you know dhcp relay virtual server type does not support irule, don't you? there is request for enhancement to support.

     

    ID421818 - RFE: Support iRules on DHCP Relay Virtual Servers

     

    anyway, i think it could be possible but have to use another virtual server type.
