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.

Hi guys,

 

Thanks again.

 

Simple question about iRules and data groupe, if I have about 200 Virtual Server, about 15 datagroupe and about 10000 connections by second, what is the cost of using iRules? Will that drain an high amount of ressources on my Big-IP?

 

Thanks

 

Pat

iRules are in use for environments ten times the size of yours. Make sure they are optimally written which means - do not define variables unless you have to (memory consumption); In case of IF or other conditional statements, use the most likely to occur events at the top (processing time). It comes down to what you're doing with the iRules - if you want to parse HTTP response payload - I would not recommend that, anything else can be done quite efficiently.
