Hi, I have a F5 BIGIP GTM box. I am able to access its GUI. However I am unable to access it via SSH Via doing a SSH via Putty just a black screen appears and nothing else happens. Please if someone can suggest any solution I have checked and my IP address is allowed in the Allowable IP's for SSH2.6KViews0likes17CommentsGTM - Topology load balancing failover when one pool is down
Hello All, I am looking for a solution to the problem that has been raised several times, but I do not find a confirmed solution. The situation I am in is described in the following post: GTM Topology across pools issue when one of the po... - DevCentral (f5.com) We have two topology records with the same source, but different destination pools, with different wights: SRC: Region X => DEST: Pool A, wieght 200 SRC: Region X => DEST: Pool B, Wieght 20 When Pool A is down the Topology load balancing for the Wide IP still selects Pool A which is down, and no IP is returned to the client. If the topology load balancing selection mechanism, is not going to take in the status of the destination pool and just stop on first match in its selection mechanism, then why have "Wieght" at all. I do no believe disabling "longest match" would help as this just affects the order the topology rules are searched, it woudl still stop with the first match. The often mentioned solution is to use a single pool with Global Availability load balancing, as mentioned in the post: GTM and Topology - DevCentral (f5.com). The problem I have is that Pool A and Pool B are pools with mulitple generic host servers. I cannot have a pool with all generic host in it as we want to memebers in each Pool are Active/Active and not Active/ Backup Many thanks, Michael2.1KViews0likes11CommentsGTM health Monitoring and Probe
Dears, I have a case in my GTM, as I added one Big IP server ( LTM ), and another server as a generic host, as I understand after I configure the server with the type bigip system the health monitor will be bigip and the GTM will know the status of VS from the LTM, if I configure the generic host and attach the health monitor on the virtual server the GTM use this health monitor to check the status of the generic host server, in my case, I noted that the GTM uses the servers that I added before with type bigip server to check the status of the Generic host server, is that normal behavior???!!!! and why does the GTM get the status for generic host server from the Bigip Server ( LTM ) ???Solved1.9KViews0likes3CommentsGTM Wideip and pool persistence
Hi there , please help me understand the gtm wideip and pool persistence, gtm wideip persistence — this tells a specific user how long you will stick with the same pool member for dns queries gtm pool TTL: this tells the specific user, how often you would need to query the gtm for dns resolution, for instance, if I connect to a wideip and gets a pool member as response, 10.10.10.10, assume that I have enabled wideip persistence as 3600 s, and pool ttl as 15 sec, I will likely to get 10.10.10.10 for 1 hr, but for every 15 seconds a dns requests sends to wideip to see if the member is still active, is this accurate understanding? please confirm1.9KViews0likes4CommentsMigrate part of GTM to another GTM
Hi, currently our GTM's have both test and prod config. We have buildup new test GTM's and want to migrate the test config (LTM's, Virtual servers, Pools, Wide IP etc) to the new pair. What is the suggested approach for this ? Is there any script that we could use ?Solved1.8KViews0likes2CommentsWhat IP's to use for DNS Listeners?
In another question on this forum, https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/f5-gtm-and-wide-ip, the poster asks if the Name Server records for his subdomain (.wip.) needed to use the self IP's of his F5's. The accepted answer is that, no, you use the DNS Listener IP's instead. However, F5's instructions for DNS Listener setup say to use the F5's self IP's to set the listeners up. So, through the transitive property of geometry (thank you, 9th grade), wouldn't the NS record, therefore, be the self IP's of the F5's? Any help is appreciated. Thank you, MickeySolved1.6KViews0likes6CommentsDNS: unlicensed (enabled) - not authorized

Hello All, Sorry for the basic question, but I find the deployment guides and implementation guides lasking some basic information. When deploying a redundant GTM pair, does the listener for the DNS queries use the floating IP address? When deploying a single GTM it is mentioned that we use a self IP, but for a redundant pair it does eplicitly say. Since the configuration is done on one GTM in the pair and synchronised to the other backup device, I do tno think a self-IP is going work. Can we use a IP from the subnet used for the LTM VIPs? This subnet is not on a directly connected VLAN, but is a subnet that is routed to the BIg-IP. Many thanks, MichaelSolved1.2KViews1like2Comments
