Source_addr persistence on VE

Hi

 

 

Rebooted the BIG-IP VM and persistence records started to appear. Must have been a glitch.

 

 

However, source_addr persistence still didn't work with my site though :-(

 

 

The lack of server ssl profile facilities in the VM means that I can't use http profiles on our https virtual servers which in turn means I can't use cookie persistence across http / https in the same way that we have in production.

 

 

Means overall configuration using the VM is highly differerent to production setup, making the value of of the VM much less than what it could be.

 

 

Come on F5 - why the ssl limitation?

 

 

The hardware limits, license and the bandwith limit in the VM are enough to stop this being a production viable VM. Please remove the ssl limitations as it compromises setting up test environments which is where the VM solution is its most valuable.

 

 

I'm not about to spend 12k on a F5 just for testing! You should commercialise the VM - making a free/very cheap dev/test version and then a more production viable version that would be suitable for DR.
