multiple floating self IPs for the same vlan and within the same traffic group
Hi, Is that a valid config to give more than 1 floating self IPs for the same vlan in F5 LTM? Also with the same traffic group setting. I saw on F5 LTM cluster configured this way and looks like still working. for example: both floating self IPs are 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21, they have the same MAC address. Back end servers 10.17.16.200 and 10.17.16.201 have 2 NICs, they are not using 10.17.16.20 or 10.17.16.21 as default gateway. The other NIC IPs are 10.20.20.200 and 10.20.20.201, the servers are using 10.20.20.1 as default gateway. The traffic can reach to server 10.17.16.200 and 10.17.16.201 via both floating self IPs 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21, but 10.17.16.20 and 10.17.16.21 have the same MAC address. I am not sure how the F5 LTM Layer2 forwarding table works. Anyone has this type of setup in F5 LTM? Regards kevin
Is it possible to set multiple IPs in the Source IP Address of the advanced ASM Event log search?
Hi, I want to exclude a couple IPs from the event logs I am looking at. I can set the drop down to 'is not' for the Source IP field and enter one IP address, removing this one IP from the event logs I am searching. Is there an operator or something similar that I can use to separate multiple IPs to remove more than one IP from the event logs? Thank You. Kind Regards ChrisPowershell iControl Snapin - DISconnecting from one LTM, connecting to another - same script
We have a need to populate an address datagroup from an external database. I currently have a working proof of concept in powershell using the F5 supplied iControl snapin. Works great. However, we have a pair of LTM4000's - running active/standby. I want to cover the case where a standby swap has happened and the active is now standby. I have noticed that when I connect to the LTM using Initialize-F5.iControl that I cannot "disconnect", and that if I try to connec to to the second LTM using a second statement (with a different hostname), that all subsequent commands pull information from the FIRST connected LTM. For example, (Get-F5.iControl).ManagementDBVariable.query("hostname") will show the hostname of the first one I initialize no matter what. I'm new to powershell, and I must be missing something here. If anyone can lend a hand - the problem I'm trying to solve is: Connect to both LTM's, and determine which is active Connect to only that LTM and perform our manipulation of the address data group. Each loop through I would check and connect to only the active. Probably would also be nice to check the sync state, just in case it winds up in an inconsistent state I can abort/error. I suspect that perhaps I need to set a hostname value for each icontrol command to tell it where to go? Thanks in advance
