What server am I on ?

I have 8 nodes connected to the same virtual server.

 

Sometimes a problem can occur on one of the servers.

 

I need a quick way to know which server a specific client is connected to.

 

 

This is not a web application.

 

 

I am running Version 9.4.8 on a Big-IP 3600.

    Hello Sten,

     

     

    as far as I am aware there is no 'easy' way on the f5 to see which pool member a specific client has been load balanced to.

     

     

    Aside from using packet captures etc, the way I normally see server identification performed is via something visible on the server, for example a notification built into a command prompt, or a different background on each terminal server displaying the server name for example. Since I am unaware of your particular application I am unable to provide anything too specific.

     

     

    Hopefully someone else may have a better idea of how to identify the server!
