F5 with GEO location - turn on for the test URLs

1. Application name: test

 

We have the below 3 URLs (examples) (for US\EU\AP) for the users to connect to test. The URLs would be as below:

 

Test:

https://aaa-us.com

https://bbb-eu.com

https://ccc-ap.com

 

Associated IPs behind these URLs would be as follows:

US - x.x.x.x 

EU - x.x.x.x

AP - x.x.x.x

 

Need help with getting these URLs to be setup witin F5 with GEO location turned on.

 

Could you please guide me the followings steps to implement it thanks

  • Can you clarify more what you are trying to do? Are you trying to load balance client connections to a single virtual server based on the host name specified (aaa-us.com, bbb-eu.com, ccc-ap-com) in the HTTP request? Or are you trying to redirect clients to the appropriate test URL based on their geolocation? For example, clients with US IP addresses get redirected to https://aaa-us.com; clients with EU IP addresses to https://bbb-eu.com; client's with AP IP addresses to https://ccc-ap.com. Or is this something more DNS related? For example, providing them the appropriate IP address response based on client geolocation no matter which domain name they query for? (Or something completely different?)

  • Hi Crodriguez,

     

    We have the 3 regions DC users (EU,US,AP) and we have 3 F5's which is located in 2 in the US region and 1 in the EU region.

     

    Associated IPs behind these URLs would be as follows:

    US - x.x.x.x and x.x.x.x 

    EU - x.x.x.x

    AP - x.x.x.x

     

    The application is already working but the request is to setup witin F5 with GEO location turned on for the URLS so the users from the US region can access only aaa-us.com and users from the EU region can access only bbb-eu.com and users from AP region can access only ccc-ap.com

     

    Please let me know what are all the steps to implement it this case thanks.
