NJMC Configuration Issues on F5 Load Balancer
Hi everyone, I’m having some trouble with NJMC-related configuration on our F5 load balancer. Specifically, I’m encountering issues with traffic management rules and performance. What troubleshooting steps do you recommend for optimizing NJMC configurations? Thanks for your insights!
Balancing failure
Hello team, Currently I have a problem with a whitening of an application, this consumes the f5 through 2 servers which the ips are static and brings a request with two connection threads (this I achieved with a persistence of origin) however when delivering to the 2 backends all traffic goes by only one, has it happened or know how I can do to balance by the 2 backends?DevCentral ICYMI - September 2024
