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?

Thanks

I've tried the implement the Codeshare Example Click here on a 9.2.2 unit, but without success. On the 9.4.5HF2 unit it works perfectly. Could it be that the manner to use this feature is compatible with the earliest TMOS Releases first?

Marius, there was a fix for CR64809 to allow sending binary content using HTTP::respond. I believe that was introduced in 9.2.3. So you'd need to upgrade at least to 9.2.3 to use this iRule.

sumesh, can you create a new post and include the anonymized iRule and class configuration? You can list the configuration using 'b rule RULE_NAME list' and 'b class CLASS_NAME list'. Also, do you see any errors in the /var/log/ltm?
