ping from a route domain

hi,   just wondering, in order to test the routing on a route domain do you ping to the destination with the %id after it?   ie for route domain 13 - ping 10.10.10.10%13

What about testing in 10.2.4? Seems like F5 doesnt want to help those that cant get to new code.

    Hi fredO 01,

    BIGIP 10.2.4 released in 2012 is not supported anymore since 2015.

    Don't blame F5 to stop support of old versions!

    The answer was provided in this thread!

    Execute 

    rdsh 10
    if route domain I'd is 10

    Except that rdsh 10 (or route domain number) doesn't work in 10.2.4(or at least I haven't been able to make it work) so you simply confirmed what I said that similar facility to rdsh on pre 11.x code, isn't available. Having to convert to an ipv6 address to test L4 route domain functionality isn't super useful. Blaming F5 for not supporting old versions? No. Blaming F5 for introducing route domains in 10.x and not providing better testing tools in 10.x? you decide.

     

    find / -iname "rdsh"
