View NAT / SNAT Sessions
Hi, I have recently enabled an SNAT in an iRule: switch -exact -- "1" [IP::addr [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" "1"] equals 10.80.0.0/16] { snat automap } and I am trying to work out how many sessions are being SNAT'd as a result of this change. Issuing the commands: sho ltm nat sho ltm snat sho sys connection cs-client-addr 10.80.0.202 etc are not giving me any results. I am not so much interested in the details of the sessions, just totals so I can verify that I'm not exceeding the 64k limit but obviously doing something wrong. Thanks James
iRule: Failure to activate payload
Hi, folks, I'm getting a result I don't understand on a very simple iRule. It works in this version: when HTTP_REQUEST { if {some_stuff} { drop log local0.warn "Warning" } But this does not display the HTML: when HTTP_REQUEST { if {some_stuff} { HTTP::respond 200 content { <html>Some HTML</html> } log local0.warn "Warning" } And neither does this: when HTTP_REQUEST { if {some_stuff} { HTTP::respond 200 content { [ifile get _our_ifile] "Content-Type" "text/html;charset=utf-8" } log local0.warn "Warning" } I've verified that the HTML is valid. What am I missing? Thanks, John A
Irule using a data group to bypass header injection
Trying to do a basic irule that looks at a data group and bypasses the header injection based on the data group uris. Been messing with the below but getting multiple errors when adding the top lines to bypass the existing irule posted below. Datagroup would be the uribypass when HTTP_REQUEST { if { ([class match [HTTP::path] starts_with "uribypass"]) } { exit else { if { !([HTTP::header exists "test-Proxied" ]) } { HTTP::uri /test[HTTP::uri] # Inject custom header HTTP::header insert test-Proxied 1 } } } }F5 looses the token for the first call
Do you have any similar issue? or any idea : with the token that it has retrieved from the AD Entra ID endpoint. The first call to the backend always loses the token on the way via F5, so it does not reach the backend at all. The frontend then goes to an error page (no authorisation). If you then start the same call again, i.e. reload the frontend, everything works as expected.iRule - Url rewrite and header replace and pool selection not working
I have a scenario where I need to perform a header replace and url rewrite and select a pool. I have several sites that I need to select a specific pool and they all have to come through the same virtual server. When I select a pool the content returned is not complete. The web page is missing formatting and content. If I define a default pool that would be used for the specific site the content returned is complete for that site but still missing content for the other sites not using a default pool. I have tried a /32 oneconnet profile and that made no difference. Below is my irule when HTTP_REQUEST { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host]] { "mywebsite.test.edu" { switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] { "/mytestsite1" { HTTP::redirect "https://mywebsite.test.edu/mytestsite1/Authentication/Login?" } "/mytestsite1/*" {if {[HTTP::host] ne ""} { HTTP::header replace Host "differentname.test.edu" HTTP::uri [string map -nocase {"/mytestsite1/" "/differentname1/"} [HTTP::uri]] } pool mypool1 return } "/mytestsite2" { HTTP::redirect "https://mywebsite.test.edu/mytestsite2/Authentication/Login?" } "/mytestsite2/*" { if {[HTTP::host] ne ""} { HTTP::header replace Host "differentname.test.edu" HTTP::uri [string map -nocase {"/mytestsite2/" "/differentname2/"} [HTTP::uri]] } pool mypool2 return } "/mytestsite3" { HTTP::redirect "https://mywebsite.test.edu/mytestsite3/Authentication/Login?" } "/mytestsite3/*" { if {[HTTP::host] ne ""} { HTTP::header replace Host "differentname.test.edu" HTTP::uri [string map -nocase {"/mytestsite3/" "/differentname3/"} [HTTP::uri]] } pool mypool3 return } } } } }Guide for exam 402 F5 Certified Solution Expert

Cannot Figure out GO payload for XC Volterra API
I have been trying to send a body I am creating from a jinja template for creating an Origin Pool. I am using Go so I use gonja but either way, the template loads correctly. However, I cannot seem to correctly send it via a payload and continuously get the error: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type map[string]json.RawMessage. This is the code snippet: payload := bytes.NewBuffer([]byte(jsonString)) fmt.Println("Type of jsonObject:", reflect.TypeOf(payload)) req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(ctx, http.MethodPost, apiURL, payload) The type returned is: Type of jsonObject: *bytes.Buffer so i do not know what else I would send?
F5 Per applications AS3 Declarations via Terraform
F5 Per applications AS3 Declarations via Terraform. Good evening all, I would like to put together a proof of concept surrounding using Terraform (the clients preferred automation platform) to populate and manage AS3 declarations. I am attempting to follow the following F5 docs page in my lab, and it is not working as I would have expected. [https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/terraform/latest/BIG-IP/per-app-as3.html#example2](https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/terraform/latest/BIG-IP/per-app-as3.html#example2) I have two separate files such is suggested in the article. One with two applications (app1-2.json) that acts as the base line for the first push, then a second file (app3.json) with a third application that I would like to ADD to the existing AS3 deceleration leaving my F5 with 3 total applications. I have one file [main.tf](http://main.tf) that looks like the following: resource "bigip\_as3" "as3-example" { as3\_json = file("app1-2.json") tenant\_filter = var.tenant tenant\_name = "Tenant" } I use that [main.tf](http://main.tf) file to push the original app1-2 file to produce the initial declaration with two applications. Then, I edit that file to look like resource "bigip\_as3" "as3-example" { \# as3\_json = data.template\_file.init.rendered as3\_json = file("app3.json") tenant\_filter = var.tenant tenant\_name = "Tenant" } Since per-application declarations are enabled, I assumed editing this file and applying it would push the third application and leave the other two in tact. That is not the case. When I push this edited [main.tf](http://main.tf) file, it edits the existing declaration deleting app1 and app 2 and creating app3. Can anyone shed some light on how we are supposed to use Terraform in per application deployments? I feel like I have to be missing something silly.
