Oct 28, 2009Rejecting a connection based on address and time of day?
Gang,
I've received a request from our Application folks to drop a connection between a client machine and a database server every day at midnight (or some other wee-morning-hour time)....

Oct 29, 2009Hi Joe,
That might have been bad advice actually. It looks like there isn't a supported way to remove individual connection table entries from the connection table via iControl right now. You can check this post for details:
System::Connections seems to be gone from the SDK

You could potentially use 'b conn' to look up and delete a connection from the LTM command line. However, there is a limit of ~7000 entries that 'b conn' will output:
SOL6573 - The bigpipe conn command displays a maximum of 7037 connections

You might consider opening a case with F5 Support and ask them for a recommendation on how to do this. If they can't come up with anything foolproof, it would make for a good 'request for enhancement'.
