Need F5 iRules Consultant - HTTP Header Manipulation Issues
Looking for help with F5 BIG-IP iRules development for custom HTTP header processing. We're trying to modify incoming request headers based on client IP geolocation, but the iRule is causing connection timeouts on certain requests. The logic works for most traffic but specific user agents seem to trigger infinite loops in the header rewrite code. Need someone experienced with iRules scripting and HTTP event handling to debug the conditional logic. Seeking 2-3 hours remote troubleshooting to identify and fix the timeout issues. Must be resolved by Thursday for production deployment.
4600 rSeries tenant resizing and HA Dependency

You will be presented with a list of options, at the bottom, select the Virtual-Edition option that has the following descriptions: For VMware Fusion or Workstation or ESX/i: Image fileset for VMware ESX/i Server For Microsoft HyperV: Image fileset for Microsoft Hyper-V KVM RHEL/CentoOS: Image file set for KVM Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS Note: There are also 1 Slot versions of the above images where a 2nd boot partition is not needed for in-place upgrades. These images include _1SLOT- to the image name instead of ALL. The below guides will help get you started with F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition to develop for VMWare Fusion, AWS, Azure, VMware, or Microsoft Hyper-V. These guides follow standard practices for installing in production environments and performance recommendations change based on lower use/non-critical needs for development or lab environments. Similar to driving a tank, use your best judgement.

VMware Fusion is not an official F5-supported hypervisor so DevCentral publishes the Fusion guide with the help of our Field Systems Engineering teams.
F5 APM - limiting access to the bandwidth for network Access
I am looking for a way of restricting access to the available bandwidth for our SSL VPN users. I see within the 'Network Access' configuration (Network Settings) there is an option to set 'Client Interface Speed' in bits per second. I have attempted to find more information on this without much luck. The only references I can find are below: 'Specifies the maximum speed of the client interface connection, in bits per second.' 'Specifies the speed of the client interface connection, in bits per second.' Can anyone provide further insight to this particular setting? I want to confirm/understand: (1) if this is actually a bandwidth restriction or whether it is just an administrative setting (though the above suggests a restriction) (2) if it is a bandwidth restriction, does this perform Traffic Policing or shaping? (3) is the setting per client connection, or all connections using that particular 'network access' Thanks
Unexpected Error: UCS loading process failed
Hello, I'm taking the LTM Essentials course online. There are different labs and before each lab, I need to upload a UCS file and restore it. But when I do the restore, I receive the following error: Unexpected Error: UCS loading process failed. It is impossible to have the restore working. Somebody would have an idea how to troubleshoot this? Thank you, Vinch
BIG-IP Configuration Conversion Scripts
Kirk Bauer, John Alam, and Pete White created a handful of perl and/or python scripts aimed at easing your migration from some of the “other guys” to BIG-IP. While they aren’t going to map every nook and cranny of the configurations to a BIG-IP feature, they will get you well along the way, taking out as much of the human error element as possible.
