Using F5 as a fall back host

Hello:     Is any using the F5 device itself as a fall back host? I would like to host the maintenance page on the device itself if possible instead of having another server as the fallback host...

You can set the Location variable ::maint_prefix in the RULE_INIT event. I'm guessing the error you're seeing when trying to save the rule is because the example in the Codeshare post is exactly as it would appear in the bigip.conf. To save via the GUI, remove the rule definition "rule webserver {" and the last closing curly brace "}".

 

 

If you still get an error, can you reply with the error text?
