Nimbostratussource address affinity persistence and SSL persistence together
Hello I’m working on setting up persistence on my LTM virtual server, I would like to do source address affinity persistence and SSL persistence together. But all I see is having a “Default Persistence Profile” and a “Fallback Persistence Profile”
Default Persistence Profile = Specifies the persistence profile you want the system to use as the default for this virtual server ! Fallback Persistence Profile = Specifies the persistence profile you want the system to use if it cannot use the specified default persistence profile. ! Therefore my question is how I setup “source address affinity persistence and SSL persistence together”.
Thanks

You can't really set them up together as one uses the persistence table on the BigIP(source affinity) and one doesn't as the persistence is maintained by the client(cookie). What you can do though is to do a universal persistence and set your persistence based on a combination of the source address and a cookie value.

A possible iRule for your uie could look like this:
when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { [HTTP::cookie exists somecookie] } { persist add uie "[IP::client_addr]_[HTTP::cookie somecookie]" } } when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::cookie exists somecookie] } { persist uie "[IP::client_addr]_[HTTP::cookie somecookie]" } }
KDS2014Interesting, thanks for that information I will look into.
