Hi Dirk,

 

 

You can set a timeout at the end of the persist command (Click here):

 

 

persist uie my_persist_string 1800

 

 

You will want to use OneConnect on the VIP--particularly if multiple client requests are being proxied to the VIP. Deb wrote a very detailed explanation of how OneConnect affects persistence (Click here).

 

 

Without OneConnect enabled, the default LTM behaviour is to persist to the first server selected for the life of the connection.

 

 

 

If the proxy is maintaining connections to the VIP, and you don't have a OneConnect profile associated with the VIP, the pool member selected for the first HTTP request will be the one used for all subsequent requests over the TCP connection.

 

 

What issues were you seeing when you tested with OneConnect?
