I have an F5 load balancing setup configured with two servers. My MVC web application, which incorporates Kendo UI, Jquery, and bootstrapping, is hosted on an IIS server with an SSL certificate. However, when accessing the application via HTTPS from outside the server, it often or sometimes results in a 'net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET' error, with intermittent failures to load javascript and CSS files to the client browser. Strangely, upon reloading the page, the assets load properly, and the page functions as expected. This issue did not occur when the application was accessed via HTTP, where it worked properly without any issues. What could be the reason behind this problem?503Views0likes2CommentsF5 appliances failing to establish OSPF with attached devices
Hi all, there is a little known 'feature' in the underlying Linux OS that has a hard limit of 20 network statements. If you go beyond 20, the additional networks will not be advertised in OSPF. I hit this limit after migrating services to my Big-IP. It took F5 support a while to find the cause as the feature isn’t widely known within F5 despite been over 10 years old. My workaround was to super-net a number of /24 subnets into /20, /21 statements which brought me back under the limit of 20 networks (conf t network statements in imish). If this isn’t possible you need to change the net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships configuration & restart the OSPF process sysctl net.ipv4.igmp_max_memberships=25 zebos -r 0 cmd clear ip ospf process show ip ospf neighbor Above I am setting the hard limit to 25 networks & restarting the OSPF process. Note, adding with sysctl should allow the setting to survive a restart/upgrade – omit it & the increase will not survive a reboot. Showing the neighborships will now show expected results for the missing networks (statements 21-25)340Views0likes4CommentsARP requests for 127.2.0.1
Our GTM (BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 635.0 HF2) is constantly—several times a second—sending out ARP requests out the mgmt interface for the IP address 127.2.0.1 with a source address of 127.2.0.2. For example: 2014-11-26 11:59:44.543142 00:01:d7:d5:2c:01 -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ARP Who has 127.2.0.1? Tell 127.2.0.2 2014-11-26 11:59:44.543149 00:01:d7:d5:2c:01 -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ARP Who has 127.2.0.1? Tell 127.2.0.2 2014-11-26 11:59:45.543200 00:01:d7:d5:2c:01 -> ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff ARP Who has 127.2.0.1?

Hello, we currently have 2 BIG-IP 15800 each one connected with 2 100Gb interfaces. So i have a guest vcmp with 8vCPU and 8 logical interfaces 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and so on to 0.8. In the cli-console or at my zabbix those interfaces are detected as 10Gb each, and i can see traffic in all of them... My question is, are those virtual interfaces capped at 10Gb ? Or in another words, how much bandwidth do i have on this vCMP?Solved2.1KViews0likes6CommentsNew i2800 to Cisco 93180YC-FX3 Twinax

Hi all, I am currently experiencing an issue with an application that is being used on 3 application servers (windows server 2003), loadbalanced behind the F5 BIGIP. Users are sometimes losing connection to the server, which makes the application crash. I have launched a capture for one of these clients and I'm seeing the following when this issue occurs (capture.png): Client: 10.229.237.235, IP of virtual server on BIGIP: 172.20.5.41 From what I can see there is no SYN-ACK being returned from BIGIP. There are also a lot of messages in the log containing TCP Window Full & TCP out of order. When we let the user connect directly to an application server instead of passing through BIGIP, they have no issues. The capture is also very clean in that case, no retransmissions, no duplicate acks or TCP resets.. The TCP protocol being used is Protocol Profile (Client) - TCP LAN Optimized and for Protocol Profile (Server) - TCP WAN Optimized. Does anyone have an idea why BIGIP doesn't send a SYN-ACK in this case? I was thinking maybe an issue with receiving window & send buffers.. Or would I need a capture on the virtual server to further analyze this behaviour? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you Kind regards Ron1.1KViews0likes6CommentsAdding a network interface to a Big-IP VE?
I have a Big-IP running v14.1.4.6 and need to add another network interface. At the moment, interfaces 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 are configured, but I see no option in the GUI to add a fourth. According to the server team folks there's a fourth network adapter configured (in VMware, I believe), but I'm at a loss regarding how to create a fourth one on the F5. I did find the command below (modified for what I need) for adding an interface in another post, but was unable to get it to work. tmsh create net vlan vlan103 interfaces add { 1.4 { untagged } } Am I going about this the wrong way? It's odd that adding an interface can't simply be done via the GUI. Thanks!Solved2.4KViews0likes2Commentslab LTM - networks not hitting default gateway
Hi, I have installed a VM version of the F5 LTM. I have connected 3 interfaces on 3 networks form mgt, internal and external networks. The internal network is connected to an existing server vlan and the external is connected to an existing data vlan. I have created a virtual machine and pool members but my main issue is that from the F5 I can ping all assigned self IPs but only the default gateway of the mgt vlan. What I am trying to achieve is I have 2 servers and an F5 actually all on the same lab network. All I need to do is to route traffic into the f5 pointing towards the virtual machine IP and then route to either server based on a health monitor but I think I'm missing something basic. Oh I also have a default gateway pointing to the mgt address. Any info would be greatly received thanks Graeme356Views0likes2CommentsStrange SNAT IP address behaviour
Hello everyone, Recently we've discovered a weird behaviour on our BIG-IP system. We are currently running version 11.5.1 on an 8950 Active/Passive HA pair. We have detected that a couple of servers, due to misconfiguration, are generating UDP traffic to port 1002 of an SNAT IP address which belongs to a SNAT Pool. Our BIG-IP is bouncing that traffic back to the network simply changing source an destination MAC address on the ethernet header. You can see it on the following screenshots: Is this an expected behaviour? Shouldn't F5 just drop this traffic? As additional info: the VS to which this SNAT Pool belongs is configured for port 80 HTTP. Thank you very much in advance for your answers.

Hello guys, we need your help. We followed this documentation https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos-implementations-11-4-0/18.html but it didnt help. we are using: Point A: big-ip 4000 (11.4) in high availability Point B: big-ip 2000 (11.6) We followed the steps, even made 3 forwarding virtual servers, 1 for incoming 1 for outgoing and 1 for SNAT. logs show that it's ipsec is not up. Can you send us your personal documentation on how you did yours? or anything that can help us. Thanks!168Views0likes0Comments
