AAM iSession replacement?
Hi, I am aware per this that the AAM product suite is going away, and is not even available on current hardware models. I am currently using iSessions to create optimized tunnels for some TCP traffic between sites, which is then secured with SSL profiles. In particular the deduplication and compression is what we mainly take advantage of. My question is, is this functionality going to eventually ship in the eventual BigIP product? Or is iSession/Dedup/Compression simply going away? Thanks, Bryan
iRules Optimization for MAC filtering with Data Groups (If/else)
Hello Everyone, I'm trying to figure out an optimized version of the following (currently working) iRules, in order to validate via Machine Info, the incoming MAC Address from different customers to a BIG-IP APM Access Policy. The iRules have been validated in version 12.1 and 13. Any advice/recommendation will be welcome. Here we have an example of the LTM Data Groups deployed: pedro.haoa@(f5chile)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm data-group one-line ltm data-group internal MACGRP_1001_external_chile { records { F4:15:63:11:22:33 { } F4:15:63:11:22:34 { } F4:15:63:11:22:35 { } } type string } . .(Output Omitted) . ltm data-group internal MACGRP_1370_external_chile { records { F4:15:63:44:55:66 { } F4:15:63:44:55:67 { } F4:15:63:44:55:68 { } } type string } . .(Output Omitted) . ltm data-group internal MACGRP_2001_external_bolivia { records { 00:23:E9:22:33:44 { } 00:23:E9:22:33:44 { } 00:23:E9:22:33:44 { } } type string } . .(Output Omitted) . ltm data-group internal MACGRP_2350_external_bolivia { records { 00:23:E9:55:66:77 { } 00:23:E9:55:66:78 { } 00:23:E9:55:66:79 { } } type string } . .(Output Omitted) . And here we have two iRules to validate more than 700 different Data Groups: BIG-IP APM Event when ACCESS_POLICY_AGENT_EVENT priority 410 { Access Policy Branch Filter if { [ACCESS::policy agent_id] eq "macgrp" } { Variables for LAN/WLAN Interfaces set mac0 [ACCESS::session data get "session.machine_info.last.net_adapter.list.\[0\].mac_address"] set mac1 [ACCESS::session data get "session.machine_info.last.net_adapter.list.\[1\].mac_address"] Variable to reduce data along the iRule due to the 64k limit. set s session.logon.custom.macgrp if/else statements to validate the MAC addresses contained within each data group if {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_1001_external_chile]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_1001_external_chile]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_1002_external_chile]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_1002_external_chile]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_1003_external_chile]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_1003_external_chile]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} . .(Output Omitted) . elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_1369_external_chile]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_1369_external_chile]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_1370_external_chile]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_1370_external_chile]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} } } Second iRule (Split mode): BIG-IP APM Event when ACCESS_POLICY_AGENT_EVENT priority 420 { Access Policy Branch Filter if { [ACCESS::policy agent_id] eq "macgrp" } { Variables for LAN/WLAN Interfaces set mac0 [ACCESS::session data get "session.machine_info.last.net_adapter.list.\[0\].mac_address"] set mac1 [ACCESS::session data get "session.machine_info.last.net_adapter.list.\[1\].mac_address"] Variable to reduce data along the iRule due to the 64k limit. set s session.logon.custom.macgrp if/else statements to validate the MAC addresses contained within each data group if {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_2001_external_bolivia]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_2001_external_bolivia]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_2002_external_bolivia]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_2002_external_bolivia]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_2003_external_bolivia]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_2003_external_bolivia]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} . .(Output Omitted) . elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_2349_external_bolivia]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_2349_external_bolivia]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACGRP_2350_external_bolivia]||[class match $mac1 eq MACGRP_2350_external_bolivia]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} elseif {[class match $mac0 eq MACADM_CHECK]||[class match $mac1 eq MACADM_CHECK]} {ACCESS::session data set $s 1} } } Cheers!
Unusual high CPU cycles on iRule
Hi, So I am using the following iRule on all virtual servers & just enabled timing on this: priority 50 when RULE_INIT { set static::maindatalist set static::debug 0 } when HTTP_REQUEST { return the company logo from ifile if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/bip-company-logo.gif") }{ HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get /Common/company-logo] return } set vs [virtual name] if {($static::debug == 1)}{ log local0. "VS is $vs, looking at $static::maindatalist" } set status [class match -value "[virtual name]" equals "maintenance-list"] if {($static::debug == 1)}{ log local0. "Looked up status: $status" } if { ($status eq "1") } { if { ([HTTP::uri] eq "/favicon.ico") }{ HTTP::respond 404 content "" return } set contact "Application Support () or your Regional Helpdesk" if {([virtual name] starts_with "/ITSS/")}{ set contact "your Regional Helpdesk" } if {($static::debug == 1)}{ log local0. "Showing maintenance page" } HTTP::respond 200 content " Down for maintenance - company Maintenance This application is currently undergoing maintenance. It should be available again within the specified time period. For any questions, please contact $contact. " Connection Close return } } when LB_FAILED { set contact "Application Support () or your Regional Helpdesk" if {([virtual name] starts_with "/ITSS/")}{ set contact "your Regional Helpdesk" } HTTP::respond 503 content " Application Unavailable - company Application unavailable This application is currently not available. Please contact $contact. " Connection Close return } (378 requests) RULE_INIT: 5900 min, 12300 avg, 12300 max LB_FAILED: 46000 min, 60200 avg, 167000 max HTTP_REQUEST: 21300 min, 44000 avg, 384900 max I used the F5DevCentral_iRulesRuntimeCalculator to calculate the CPU usage, coming down to 28% max CPU usage per request. This seems VERY high. Is there anything I can do about this? I tested with a healthy node & a disabled node, no maintenance mode.
