Testing VIP without rsevers

Hi Guys,

 

I have a complex routing to put in place to allow clients to access VIPs that I will configure on LTM.

 

The server guys are not ready yet but I am going ahead with my changes. Is there any way I can instruct the F5 to answer client with a temporary message so I can check that routing from client to VIP is working?

 

Client will use web browser and I was looking to display a simple message like the default HTML "It Works" page that Apache displays by default. I have no test server that I could use for this hence asking if F5 LTM could do this.

 

Thanks,

 

Fab

    Thanks that will do the trick.

     

    I can't understand the meaning of this "The curly braces prevent variable expansion and should eliminate the need to escape meta-characters within the response content"

     

    Would someone know in simpler term what do that mean?
