NimbostratusVirtual server config
Hi,
I had look at a BIG-IP virtual server config today where the virtual server address was a combination of IP address and VLAN number. Eg virtual server address = 10.20.60.56%3692 where 3692 is the VLAN number. Everything is working fine. I'm really confused. I have never configured a virtual server like this before.
Is this a valid config that is used in special circumstances only?
Regards,
Newbie

Whilst there may be a VLAN with that tag, the %3692 relates to a Route Domain. See here for more information: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/prod...mains.html
newbie_48881Can't a partition achieve the same thing a route domain does?- Kevin_Stewart

Actually no. A route domain is to network segmentation what partitions are to administrative segmentation. A partition would be used to give different users and groups segmented configurations and permissions (invisible and inaccessible to others).
You can bind VLANs to a route domain, so the above admin has likely given the VLAN the same number for identification purposes. - newbie_48881Oh I see. Thank you!
