NimbostratusRouting iRule
Hi,
We have a layer2 configuration on our LTM. There's a down stream FW, behind which the hosts to be load balanced to reside.
Can a iRule be written to sent traffic des...
VS config would use one of the iRules above as its only resource.
For more info about transparent monitors, see this AskF5 Solution: SOL8971: Creating transparent ICMP health monitors (Click here)
If you are going with the node approach (iRule 1), you can apply a transparent ICMP monitor (such as that referenced in the 1st section of the solution) to each node address, but there is no fallback defined if it fails: Connections will be reset by LTM.
If you are going with the monitored pool approach (iRule 2), you would first need to create the pools it references, and apply a transparent gateway ICMP monitor (such as that referenced in the 2nd section of the solution) to each pool. This solution provides fallback in case of firewall failure.
