URL to redirect onto one of the web server

Hi,

 

 

If www.abcd.com.au resolves to a VIP address on the BIG-IP, can you set the pool on the VIP to a pool containing the web server? I'm not sure what you're trying to do beyond standard load balancing. When a client requests www.abcd.com.au, what do you want to happen?

hi,

 

 

my client has request me to redirect http://www.abcd.com.au to redirect to web server on port 80.

 

This is what my client has requested.

 

To configure the BIG-IP to route requests to a fully qualified domain like www.abcd.com.au, you'd need to make sure the domain resolves to an IP address the BIG-IP owns. You'd then set up a pool with the web server IP and port. Then create a VIP which has the pool set as the default pool. If the default gateway on the web server is not set to the BIG-IP's floating self IP, you'd want to enable SNAT on the VIP as well.

 

 

This is described in much more detail in the LTM configuration guide on AskF5.com.

hi mate,

 

 

i would like to inform you that I'm not really good with F5. I am very much new with this device and I really dont understand what is VIP. If you could give me bit idea that how would I create pool and redirect URL onto my web server that it will be really good for me... If you got moment then pls type down for me or give me link where I can find stuff like this... I am trying to login to your given website but still hunting for my username n password...

 

You can create a login for AskF5 with just an email address (Click here). The LTM configuration guide for your version explains how to set up a pool and virtual server (VIP). To find out what version you're running, check under System | General Properties.

 

 

Here are two bigpipe commands you can run at the command line of the BIG-IP (or via the GUI under System | Console) to create a pool and a virtual server. It may not be the exact configuration you require, but it should get you started:

 

 

b pool www.abcd.com.au_pool { member 10.1.1.1:80 }

 

 

b virtual www.abcd.com.au_vip { destination 192.168.1.1:80 snat automap ip protocol tcp profile http pool www.abcd.com.au_pool }

 

 

You can then modify the configuration through the GUI under Local Traffic >> Pools and Virtual Servers. As I mentioned before, you should read up in the configuration guide for more information.

thanks mate for your great help... I just want to ask you one more question that you have mentioned IP address 10.1.1.1. I think which is related to my Web server but I am not sure about destination IP address 192.168.1.1. Which IP address it would be? It might be bit stupid question but I am really confused so asking you couple of questions. I am going through GUI only so I will go through your given guidance and of course AskF5 LTM configuration guide...

Hi,

 

 

Is there anyone who can help me out too? If you could , it will be really great...

 

 

Thanks,

b virtual www.abcd.com.au_vip { destination 192.168.1.1:80 snat automap ip protocol tcp profile http pool www.abcd.com.au_pool }

 

 

this create a virtual server which name is www.abcd.com.au_vip listening on IP 192.168.1.1 port 80 with snat automap activated and its pool is www.abcd.com.au_pool

I'm really confused with your given answer.. Sorry to bother you but before I start any configuration on F5 device, I want to confirm everything fist.

 

My client want me to redirect following URL on to one of their web server. Web server IP address is 10.x.x.x.

 

URL= https://www.abcd.com.au to redirect on to internal web server (IP address: 10.x.x.x)...

 

 

Now can you tell what do you mean by destination 192.168.1.1 .... I really dont understand this statement.... I fairly new person for F5 devise...

 

 

Thanks for your quick response...

Is there any one who can give me brief idea over to my request?

 

I'm planning to configure from GUI. I'm using following version of F5.

 

 

Version: BIG-IP 9.3.0 Build 187.3
