TCP Traffic Path Diagram
Hi all, It's bugged me ever since I looked at the ADF exam blueprint that there still wasn't a definitive document or diagram available that described or showed the TCP Traffic Path and Order of Operations of a packet passing through an F5. I'm aware of the BigIP Path Graph v1.7 from Red Education but that's five years old and hasn't been subject to any review. To that end I've recently started my own as you can see below. Comments and more importantly corrections or queries are encouraged. Note as it stands I've not added many iRule events as I'd like to get the flow and order sorted first. I'm pretty sure what I've done is mostly correct but I'd love some review before I continue and finish off the server side operations. Many thanks in advance.

I am Stuck with this issue for a long time. p.s i have not configured irules, i have used default pool in Virtual server configuration

Security Event logs - local locations
This seems like a really stupid question to have to ask, but I can't seem to find an answer in the documentation. I am running Big-IP 11.5 with AFM provisioned. I am running a Security Network Firewall rule (global) with logging enabled. For various reasons I want to look at the local log file on the Big-IP from the command line, but can not locate them. Where are the Network Firewall logs located? If the different contexts have logs in different locations, I'd appreciate knowing where the firewall logs are for Global, Virtual Servers and Self-IP. ThanksConnection resets at SSL/TLS level from F5
Context- We have load tests executed from Amazon cloud instance (source) to aaccess application through f5 hosted in-premise and images/Js/cc are hosted in CDN and application data and few images are served from In-premise servers. All requests are in HTTPS and connection uses TLS 1.2 Problem: We notice that when users are ramping up from 2K to 3K users (more connections opened from client to server) client is waiting for the response from server and later client throws encrypted alert 21 (happening at TLS layer) followed by connections resets and retransmission failures. Captured through wireshark but not able corner the problem (attached the snapshot) Last it worked well on June 26th Test and July 3rd first occurrence of this errors. what changed in between and suspects that could be contributing, 1) Firewall configuration changes due to vulnerability exposed at TLS/SSL layer 2) POODLE attacks fixes on F5 3) within Amazon cloud infrastructure Any inputs to investigate in right direction will help us a lot.BigIP VE Lab
I have a VE Lab license that I'm trying to install as my internet firewall to be able to play around with it. I have DHCP at home, not a static IP. I know BigIP can do DHCP for the management addresses, but is the BigIP not able to do DHCP assigned addresses for anything else? I can't find anything other than DHCP relay information, and I can't figure out how to configure an interface for anything other than static addressing. Thanks!
