Configure two service ports as a group

Hi Everyone,

 

I want to group two service ports together.

 

For example, a hc-track-group of the Brocade VDX.

 

  1. Two service ports are being health check on one node. (port 80 / port 81)

     

  2. When one monitor is down, the remaining monitor will also be down. (Group status down)

     

  3. When one monitor is up, the remaining monitor will also be up. (Group status up)

     

Is it possible to configure the same thing in F5?

 

Do I need to use iRules to configure?

 

Thanks.

    1. Two service ports are being health check on one node. (port 80 / port 81) -- you can add members with port 80 & 81 with same IP
    2. When one monitor is down, the remaining monitor will also be down. (Group status down) -- monitor availability all
    3. When one monitor is up, the remaining monitor will also be up. (Group status up) -- This may not be possible in pool monitor.

    With a single monitor you would need to use an External Monitor else just setup two monitors with alias ports set to 80 and 81 and assign both to a pool member or node.

     

    See the following for more details about External Monitors: LTM External Monitors: The Basics
