F5 blocking my webpage that works as monitor of Sites hosted behing F5
Hi Guys, we recently enable ASM module on F5 in evualtion/learning mode only and we have one website that is hosted behind the F5 lTM . Once the ASM module is activated my customer web site hosted in a different data center in Azure cannot get thought F5. this website acts as a web monitor and every 5 min it is monitoring the site hosted being the F5. I get a blank page which looks like this. My web monitor is doing HTTP web request and sometimes this happens. Ther is no disturbance of the site hosted in LTM pools. In my google Serach it relieves the problem might be in ASM module trying to block. Can you guys provide some pointer how to resolve this issue. <!DOCTYPE html> <html><head> <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"/> <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1"/> <meta http-equiv="CacheControl" content="no-cache"/> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="data:;base64,iVBORw0KGgo="/> <script> (function(){ window["bobcmn"] = "11111011101010200000002200000005200000000289895ae4200000096300000000300000000300000006/TSPD/300000008TSPD_101300000005https3000000b0081b93fe10ab20006f0e8f1c61960cb6df13226d973e4b69e019690083a6fd29acdda2b6f1b2f5dd0805bbb5290a280019bbf7f5e3c12d280528f7ff9915458e1d0c71804c667eac9e06aa4ea740e68a5b754f765c6ef008200000000200000000"; Regards SunilWhy does the Local Traffic policy allow Bot profile to be selected but the iRule can't ?
When I attach DOS and BOT profiles with local traffic policy or iRule I always need a default BOT and DOS profile even when I have a default rule that catches all the traffic. That is one thing but the strangest thing is when I decide to attach a Bot profile with iRule it does not work but the Local traffic policies allow this. I will need to test this but is really strange. This is the first time something is only possible with Local Traffic Policies but I will have to test if it works 🙂
IP Intelligence - The Scanners category
Hi, One of the categories that can be enabled to monitor or block with IP Intelligence via the ASM is "Scanners". The definition for this reads "The Scanners category includes all reconnaissance, such as probes, host scan, domain scan, and password brute force." My question is, if this category is enabled and set to block, will it block search engine bots? Will any category in IP Intelligence block search engine traffic? As you can imagine, this is not a desired outcome. Thank you
Can ASM do something with people (or bot) who access website too rapidly.
Hi We have website for people to download file and show some report. But we found some people (Mostly bot) try to download file or see report too many time per second. (some bot access 10 time per second, some people download 10 file in 10 second.) Is ASM can help us do something about this people (or bot) ? We currently using ASM/LTM version 12. Thank you
