Session persistence in LTM

How do I enable session persistence in LTM? I went to profiles->Persistence->source_address and selected "Match across virtual servers" and saved it. How I do make sure it is indeed applied to all virtual servers I had created ? I don't see that option being displayed in the virtual servers I created and my sessions are not properly load balanced.

    For any kind of persistence to take effect, you need to first create one instance of it, or if you want to go with the default ones, you need to attach that persistence to the Virtual server. Then only it will take effect. 'Match Across Virtual' option has got a different functionality. It will not let the source-persistence prevail through all the Virtuals in the LTM.

      Thank you for the reply.How do I attach the persistence to Virtual server is my question. For example I created a virtual server for service port 443 and protocol TCP. I don't see any option to attach the default profile to it.

       

      I also created a new persistence profile for source_addr and SSL and don't see the options for enabling them.
