CirrostratusHi Mohanad,
Your irule seems correct. Maybe you can add a fallback persistence in an else condition.
According to the article (Overview of universal persistence (f5.com), in addition to your irule, you should also create a universal persistence profile as follows:
To create a universal persistence profile and reference the persistence iRule you created in the previous procedure, perform the following procedure:
- Log in to the Configuration utility.
- Navigate to Local Traffic > Profiles.
- From the Persistence menu, click Create.
- Type a name for the universal persistence profile.
- For Persistence, click Universal.
- For Configuration, select the iRule check box, then click the persistence iRule you created.
- Click Finished.
MohanadThank you Oguzy, i know this requires persistence profile
