Nimbostratus
NimbostratusPool members on different port can be mapped to same pool
Hi All,
I have a basic query. Can we add different pool members to same pool under particular VIP to serve incoming request. Is it standard way to do this way ? or is it possible to any other way ?
Example:
ltm pool pool_example {
members {
test1:9003 { <<<<<<<<<<<<<< port 9003
address 10.3.138.30
session monitor-enabled
state up
}
test2:8003{ <<<<<<<<<<<<< port 8003
address 10.3.138.28
session monitor-enabled
state up
}
}
monitor tcp
}
Regards,
Rajneesh

Hi Rajneesh,
i am not sure about your question, but using a mix of pool members in the same pool, meaning different IPs (can even be IPv4 and IPv6, as far as your BIG-IP has the proper v4 and v6 configuration (selfs, routing, ...)) as well as mixing ports, is a valid configuration. Just be sure that you have not disabled the "port translation", as this is the way to move traffic from a Virtual Server (receiving on port 80 for example), moved into your pool member "destination port" (liek 8003 or 9003 in your example).
And the pool member can even be the same IP, with 2 different ports (10.3.138.28:9003 and 10.3.138.28:8003 for example).
Hope that answer your question
