Hi,

 

In addition to above and to your redirection query.

 

  1. Create two VS with same Name and IPs but use port 443 and 80
  2. 443 will have all the configurations , Persistance ,Pool, Pool Members etc.
  3. In 80 VS add an iRule to redirect the connection to 443 VS

You can use the simple one:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

Regards,

 

Aditya

Hi Immu,

It depends on the settings of the Virtual Server and Pools. You should refer to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) Reference Guide for your version.

For example this is for 11.5.0 : Guide

The command to create basic VS,Pool and Nodes will be the below:

tmsh create ltm node  address 
tmsh create ltm pool  members add { : }
tmsh create ltm virtual  destination : pool

But there are many more parameters which you will need to add; those you can check in the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) Reference Guide for your version.

Regards,

Aditya
