Static Maintenance Page

I am trying to create a https VIP on the ltm that will always return a Static Maintenance Page using iFile. I don't want the VIP to have pool members. I just want the VIP's sole purpose to be responding the https request with the splash page that I have defined. The html page is created and accessible on the LTM. However, I am getting the following ssl error. Any ideas?

 

  • SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 104
* Closing connection
application delivery
iRules
LTM

    Sounds like you're missing a clientssl profile or forgot to enable automap. See below a working example from my lab environment.

    Virtual Server:

    ltm virtual vs_html_static_page {
    destination 10.23.98.13:https
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        clientssl-insecure-compatible {
            context clientside
        }
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        A_IRULE_STATIC_HTML_PAGE
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    translate-address enabled
    translate-port enabled
    vs-index 219
}

    irule:

    ltm rule A_IRULE_STATIC_HTML_PAGE {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set html [ifile get "/Common/static_html_page"]
    HTTP::respond 200 content $html
    unset html
}
}
