Problem this snippet solves: Overview This is a script which will generate a report of the BIG-IP LTM configuration on all your load balancers making it easy to find information and get a comprehensive overview of virtual servers and pools connected to them. This information is used to relay information to NOC and developers to give them insight in where things are located and to be able to plan patching and deploys. I also use it myself as a quick way get information or gather data used as a foundation for RFC's, ie get a list of all external virtual servers without compression profiles. The script has been running on 13 pairs of load balancers, indexing over 1200 virtual servers for several years now and the report is widely used across the company and by many companies and governments across the world. It's easy to setup and use and only requires auditor (read-only) permissions on your devices.

I observed high CPU utilization (100%) on F5 device, resource provision ASM nominal. I checked the client-side throughput and server-side throughput both are normal but found management interface throughput is very high and what i noticed this is happening in same time period for last 30 days. What could be the reason for this spike. Many thanks in advanced for your time and consideration.129Views0likes14CommentsNAT for specific IPs
Hi All, Looking for suggestions on how I can accomplish NAT for a couple of specific IPs, without NATting all the incoming traffic. My scenario is as following: source client ips 10.10.10.100 & 10.10.10.102 destination VS1(10.10.20.1.), load balancers to servers 10.10.10.10 & 10.10.10.20 (same subnet as the source address). I would like to NAT traffic from these client addresses to the floating IP 10.10.10.1, and all other client traffic no NAT is applied. I can't create a NAT Pool for 10.10.10.100 & 10.10.10.102 as they are members of pool for a different VS. Any ideas/suggestions on how I can accomplish this? I appreciate your assistance. Thanks DeenaSolved35Views0likes1CommentVIP needed for many UDP ports
Greetings, I have been asked to create an F5 solution for UDP. There a dozen or so ports, so I was going to make a pool for each (same servers are in all of them, but listening on different ports) My plan was to make 1 VIP listening on port 0 and have a policy look at the requested UDP port to send to the correct pool. Trouble is, at least in my version of LTM 13.1.5 UDP port match is not an option. TCP is there... My question , will I be able to do this in a newer version of LTM? Or will an Irule work for this ? Thanks,Solved47Views0likes2CommentsAlert Mail when virtual server down trubleshooting

Hi there, We have one irule is configured on VIP which is redirecting to maintenance page if user access the wrong url on that page HSTS is not working but if we access the right url then HSTS is working. We have enabled HSTS in http profile and that is attached to the same VIP with irule. Is there any way to enable HSTS on maintenance page or any remediation to fix that issue. if { $DEBUG } { log local0.

Hi, I have a very wired problem with one of our F5. This is a single armed partition, so the LB VS and pool members and everything is all on the same L2 network segment. The thing is, the pool memebers (four) are going down every other minute, and then come back after a while, maybe a few minutes. Digging into the issue, I found that I am not able to ping those nodes from the F5 tmsh when they are down, while I can ping them from my workstation just fine. Just the F5 looses communication for a reason. I checked the ARP table, and the entries for those hosts are in there with the right MAC address. However, when the problem occurs, as soon as I clear the ARP table entry for any of these hosts, I am immideately able to ping them again - for some minutes, then the ping dies again. Clearing the ARP again brings them back to life right away - and so on. As I said, I can see the correct ARP table entry when the ping is not working, so I dont get why clearing the ARP entry brings them back to life. All other communication to those hosts is just running fine, e.g. I run a RDP session from my workstation to them which just runs fine while they are not ping-able from the tmsh. Question is, whats up with the F5 it looses communication. I tried to add static ARP entries for those pool members as I am running out of ideas, but that didnt change anything. Also, we have the same set up in our dev environment, same F5, same versions, all the same, which just runs fine. Any help or ideas are appreciated, Tx&Greetings, JoSolved43Views0likes3CommentsNeed iRule to block the traffic for specific URL
