How to create multiple records in a single POST request via iControl REST API?
We are trying to create multiple records in a single POST request and we are getting a ‘Missing name’ error. Typically if it was not supported, we would have received a ‘operation not supported’ error. However, we get a ‘missing name’ error. POST Request URL: https://10.18.76.4/mgmt/tm/gtm/topology?ver=11.5.1 HTTP Method: POST Request Body { "kind": "tm:gtm:topology:topologycollectionstate", "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/gtm/topology?ver=11.5.2", "items": [ { "kind": "tm:gtm:topology:topologystate", "name": " ldns: region /Common/TestPOC1 server: datacenter /Common/TestDC1", "fullPath": " ldns: region /Common/TestPOC1 server: datacenter /Common/TestDC1", "generation": 1, "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/gtm/topology/%20ldns:%20region%20~Common~TestPOC1%20%20server:%20datacenter%20~Common~TestDC1?ver=11.5.2", "order": 1, "score": 1 }, { "kind": "tm:gtm:topology:topologystate", "name": " ldns: region /Common/TestPOC2 server: datacenter /Common/TestDC2", "fullPath": " ldns: region /Common/TestPOC2 server: datacenter /Common/TestDC2", "generation": 1, "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/gtm/topology/%20ldns:%20region%20~Common~TestPOC2%20%20server:%20datacenter%20~Common~TestDC2?ver=11.5.2", "order": 2, "score": 1 } ] } Error received: {"code":400,"message":"Missing name.","errorStack":[]} What are we missing here? Can multiple records even be created in a single POST call?Do Topology records execute and direct traffic regardless of GSLB pools assigned under a Wide IP?
Hello F5ers, My question is around Big-IP DNS and how topology records would work in case multiple records match the traffic. My understanding is Big-IP DNS would not direct client requests to non assigned pools under the WIP regardless of topology record match. I would really appreciate if someone can confirm my understanding or if i'm missing something. Lets get to it, I have below setup, WIPs: WIP-A assigned with GSLB-Pool-A1 and GSLB-Pool-A2 WIP-B assigned with GSLB-Pool-B1 and GSLB-Pool-B2 Current Topology records: -If State is Idaho, Pool is GSLB-Pool-A1 -If State is not Idaho, Pool is GSLB-Pool-A2 -If IP subnet is 10.0.0.0/8, Pool is GSLB-Pool-B1 -If IP subnet is not 10.0.0.0/8, Pool is GSLB-Pool-B2 Now, If a request comes to WIP-A from a user who is in Idaho (State is Idaho) but on their home network (is not 10.0.0.0/8), the topology records would only load balance to pools assigned under the WIP-A right? The request would never hit a pool which is not assigned to the WIP right (in this case GSLB-Pool-B2)? Any help is appreciated! Thanks
Do I update each GTMs Topology records on each Data Centers GTM?
I'm about to add some GTM configs: Virtual Servers, Pools, Wide IP, and Topology Mappings (i.e. records). Do I need to manually configure each GTM with the Topology records are will the configs be sychronized between the Data Center sites via iQuery once applied to one GTM? Thanks for your help.
