Navigate to Local Traffic->Profiles->Services->HTTP

 

Create your own profile, or modify the base http profile about 2/3 down the screen. Where you find it says "Server Agent Name 'BigIP'" you can simply blank it out.

    Wow, never heard of this feature before, and didn't see it in any of the articles I read. I'm afraid this isn't available on my version, v11.2.1 HF 14? When was this feature introduced? And can it still be done on my version, by changing it "behind the scene"?

     

    Many thanks Ekaleido! You are definitely giving me hope! :)

    I don't know when it was introduced. The earliest version I have access to is 11.5.3. I will see what I can dig up though.
