service down reset

I believe it's now located in the Pool. It's a pool down called "Action on Service Down". of course this could be something else but it's pretty similiar

Thanks for you reply. I found that in the manual that "The svcdown_reset option causes the BIG-IP system to immediately reap all connections for a node that transitions to a down state". However in v9, the pool option of "action on service down" are None, Reject, Drop and Reselect. Which one is closest to reset or reap all connections? Drop?

 

I would say it this way. If I have svcdown_reset enabled in v4, which option is the most appropriate in v9? Thanks.

Now that I think about it. The Action on service down is completely different from what you want to do. I am not even sure if it's even part of the bigip v9 anymore. It might be someting that you can now do in a iRULE.

Actually you were on the right track, cmbhatt, there are just more options now than there were in 4.x.

 

 

"Action on Service Down" is the setting you're looking for, lodaniel, and the "Reject" option in LTM v9.x will replicate the 4.x "svcdown_reset enabled" behaviour, reaping all active connections immediately when the pool member transitions to a DOWN state by sending a RST to each active connection.

Not a problem. I am here to learn and help others as much as I can. The more people learn and the more this forum will continue to succeed.

Here's a tech tip inspired by lodaniel's question that describes the various "Action on Service Down" options: http://devcentral.f5.com/Default.aspx?tabid=63&articleType=ArticleView&articleId=179 (Click here)

In the CLI, there is an option Reset which is equivalent to Reject in configuration utility. Just wondering why they are different.

Reset / reject are used interchangeably, and they both mean the same thing: send a RST to explicitly reject the connection when further traffic is seen.
