Pool member timeout

Hi,   I'm migrating from HA Proxy to Big-IP LTM and I'm looking for a way to set a server respond timeout on the pool member.   On my old HA proxy I can set a server timeout on the backend part...

    Yes you will need to create a TCP profile for the purpose. Assign it under virtual server settings in advanced view. You can use this profile across multiple virtual servers if they have the same setting.

     

    You cannot configure it on a per pool, or per member basis.

TCP profiles go on the virtual server. not the pool.

 

If you have many many profiles to create, then I'd probably look at an iRule that sets them dynamically on the server-side connection, and drive it by a data group (i.e. A single iRule that looks up the timeout in a data group/class and sets it when the server-side connection it made).
