Load Balancing Outbound traffic between ISP Links with Big-IP LTM. HOW ?
Hello everyone, We're working on replacement of a Peplink Balance 580 with an F5 Big-ip (LTM+DNS) and we want to use it to balance outbound traffic between 3 ISP links. In the peplink we had the ability to control traffic based on source and destination IPs or even URLs (eg: youtube traffic goes through link 1 and traffic destined to a certain ip goes through link 2 unless link 2 is down, then it goes through link 1) Can we impelement a similar configuration using big ip (LTM+DNS)? I know that big ip Link Controller was intended for this kind of scenario but have any of you worked on balacing outbound traffic using LTM ? Your help will be much appreciated.
iRule SNAT for multiple ISP
Hi, I tried to configure an iRule to SNAT specific LAN to a specific ISP (wan link). When I bind this iRule to my default VS (in fastL4) the iRule doesn't match when I generate traffic from my lan. I don't know if my iRule is good... : when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { set my_ip [IP::client_addr] if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals X.X.X.X/26] or [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals Y.Y.Y.Y/26]} {snat Z.Z.Z.Z pool default_gw_pool } else {snatpool snat_pool-CLD_ALL pool default_gw_pool } } Some have an idea?
Using F5 DNS to replace the service provider's DNS
Hello folks: Please, I hope you could help me with this silly question. I am planning to get rid out my Internet Service Provider DNS and to deploy the F5 DNS module instead. Currently, the ISP's DNS is responsible for resolving the queries coming to myorganization.com.[my_country_domain] domain. I don not want to use such DNS anymore due to I need to use the F5 DNS module instead. I have deployed the F5 DNS with the same zones and records as the ISP DNS, but I am not sure how to define it in the organization that rules the [my_country_domain] domain. In the F5 box, I have defined an NS record (f5dns.myorganization.com.[my_country_domain] pointing to the LISTENER. Such name f5dns.myorganization.com.[my_country_domain] must be set in the organization that rules the [my_country_domain] domain. But, I am not sure if the f5dns.myorganization.com.[my_country_domain] name is going to be resolved properly as it is only declared in my F5. How the organization that rules [my_country_domain] will know the IP of my name server? Do I need to do something in order to the name f5dns.myorganization.com.[my_country_domain] is known before setting it in the organization that rules [my_country_domain]? Thanks Omar
