Outbound iRule / BGP routing
Hey sirs, I would like to ask a question about the order of precedence/execute of a connection that consumes a forwarding virtual server/routing table. Currently, we have a forwarding any:0 virtual server, which load balances internet outgoing traffic through a pool_default_gateway that has the IP of 3 routers from different ISP associated with it, including some irules that make the SNAT decision based on LAN-segment. We are planning to include the F5 pair in the BGP neighbors of each ASN ISP and receive the default route and advertise the Virtual Server public IP. Does anyone know if the F5 when reads the dynamic routing table obtained via BGP, the traffic that is handled by the virtual servers of forwarding any:0, including those that are manipulated via iRule can show any kind of intermittence? thanks in advance
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.
