3823 TopicsCookie persistence and source address fallback
I wonder what will be result of such setup: LB set to Round Robin Default Persistence Profile: Cookie (Cookie Insert) Fallback Persistence Profile: Source Address Source IP same for all requests (SNATed) My assumption is: First new TCP connection established, no cookie present Fallback Persistence used, no Persistence Record (PR) found No persistence is applied because none exist so connection will be directed to first member What will happen then? Persistence Record for source IP will be created pointing to first server? In HTTP response cookie is inserted pointing to first pool member Then second connection from the same IP comes, assuming that PR was created and did not time out then LB will be ignored and connection will be directed to first server In HTTP response again cookie pointing to first server will be inserted Then all returning connections (with cookies set) will be directed to first server, LB in fact will not be used, except for situation when there is enough period of inactivity between connections to allow PR to expire, but will then new connection be send to second server according to RR or not necessarily? Is above correct? PiotrSolved856Views0likes19CommentsF5 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' Thanks1.2KViews0likes7CommentsUnexpected 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, Vinch692Views0likes3Commentsnetwork failover/serial cable for HA
for HA configurations, there are 3 options network failover in network failover the heartbeat is the network packet serial failover serial cable failover is just checking a voltage heartbeat between the two systems. network and Serial failover I not sure does it mean failover only take place when network and serial both are failed or ? if use both, how to test if it is working?Solved1.4KViews0likes14CommentsSharing same VLAN between vCMP guest
Hello, This question is regarding to sharing same VLAN between vCMP guest for F5 viprion platform. lets say, I have a VLAN 10 which is tagged to interface 1.1 at vCMP host level and propagated to Guest A in common partition. -For the guest B can I use same VLAN? -What would be the recommend way to share VLANs between guests? -Can we tag VLAN 10 to 1.2 interface at vCMP host level and share it with Guest B?564Views0likes2CommentsBIG-IP to Cisco via 10Gb SFP+ Direct Attach Copper
Hi, Anybody using Cisco DAC 10G transceiver/copper cables (TwinAx) to connect from a Cisco switch to a BIG-IP? Can't seem to find an answer, suspect it is not supported which is always an issue for DACs between vendors. Cheers1.6KViews0likes14CommentsOCSP With CRL Fallback
Hi all, I've been trying to get my head around OCSP and CRL in a rush. My requirement is relatively simple but without APM (not an option) I'm trying to do this via an iRule. Anyway, the requirement is this; -Use OCSP as the primary method of verifying client certificates (requires an OCSP profile) -Use CRL (not CRLDP) as a fallback should the OCSP responders be unavailable for any reason (requires an SSL profile) According to this, if both are applied (via profiles) then both checks must 'pass' not just one or the other, hence the iRule. I've found examples of using OCSP in an iRule here, here and here (thanks Hoolio) but litle around CRL checking. So, my questions are; -Can I use an iRule to perform the OCSP check and then, if OCSP fails for some reason, switch to an SSL profile that has CRL checking enabled so that CRL checking is performed? -If not, does anyone has any example code for performing a CRL check? -Would it simply be better to use a Pool (or something along these lines) and check it's up rather than do the OCSP check 'manually' in the iRule?970Views0likes6Comments
