Forwarding request to all pool members
i have a i5800 and my DEVs are requesting me to send forward a HTTP POST to all pool members that are behind the F5. This is because users will be spread among all pool memebers and this POST will display the caller info into the user's screen. so the server the user is connected to will match that post parameter and display the info. is there a way to do this? its like a stateless forwarding but with TCP
ARP & Failover hassle: Self-IP in the vIP range or MAC Masquerading?
Hello, We recently had some issues regarding a failover where a part of the vips weren't ARP'd right. (These worked fine before) F5 Support mentioned having a self-ip in the vIP range or using MAC Masquerading on the traffic group would solve our problems. Now there are a few things I do not get; if a self-ip in the vIP range is required, how are we accessing our listeners right now? How is the bigip broadcasting the vIPs without a self-ip in the vIP range? Why would MAC masquerading work better? Our bigips are connected to L3 switches, if that may help. Thanks!
