Problem this snippet solves: Proxy Protocol v1 related articles have already been posted on DevCentral, but there is no v2 support iRule code available. A customer wanted to support Proxy Protocol v2, so I wrote an iRule code for supporting v2.

Dear Techs, I'm in a strange situation where I'm supposed to add both F5 Big-IP with Big-IQ. Both Big-IP and Big-IQ are in same subnet, so firewall isn't a question. The Big-IP are in HA. I've successfully added the Standby unit with Big-IQ without any issues while adding the Active unit I'm getting below error message : The device <Big-IP-Management-IP> (null) is not a Big-IP device. I've added a total of 7 devices successfully, using the same procedure, same authentication. Any help with be greatly appreciated. Big IQ version : 8.0.0 Big-IP version : 14.1.4 thank you1.4KViews1like17CommentsNetScaler to F5 Migration
Hi Team, I am facing difficulties while converting the NetScaler ns.conf file into an F5 BIG-IP LTM configuration, particularly with VIPs, pools, and nodes. I have attempted multiple methods to perform this conversion but have not had success. If you have any recommended approaches or tools to facilitate this process, please share them with us.

Hello Community, I have a requirement to allow enriched https header enrichment. The SSL negotiation (I'm doing ssl termination on F5) fails because the enriched header from client contains reserved tls extension values. (https://www.iana.org/assignments/tls-extensiontype-values/tls-extensiontype-values.xhtmltls-extensiontype-values-1). The Client Hello request in the SSL Handshake was captured and contained an Extensions list, which included a reserved TLS Extension value (17156), which the F5 isn't presenting in Server Hello. I need an irule that can allow that Extension to be added on the client ssl profile so the ssl handshake doesn't fail.2.3KViews0likes26Comments
