VS Precedence
Hi
I have a question relating to VS precedence and which VS would process the packet in the following example:
Packet - destination IP > 10.10.10.10 destination port > TCP/80
VIP-A 10.10.10.0:80
protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.0
VIP-B 10.10.10.10:80
protocol udp
mask 255.255.255.255
My understanding having read https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/6000/400/sol6459.html is that there is a higher emphasis on the VS with the longest subnet match.
However, in the in above example, this would be VIP-B - but the protocol for this VS is UDP.
Would VIP-B process the request and subsequently drop traffic - or is the BigIP intelligent enough to match on a VS with a lower precedence, but one that has the correct protocol configured?
Many thanks
Lee
