WAN Optimization
Greetings, I am a F5 newbie, so I hope I don't offend anyone on here with the following question. I attended a users meeting awhile back and remember hearing that the LTM can perform some basic WAN optimization out of the box without needing to purchase a WOM license. I have been doing some research and the only information that I can find on the optimization topic is that associated with the WOM. I guess I have a two-part question: does the LTM 3900 support wan optimization out of the box and if it does, how do I configure it? I would greatly appreciate if someone on here could provide me with some configuration pointers or a link to documentation. Regards, Jaimes
IISv6 Metabase to Compression Profile - how?
I have searched DevCentral and AskF5 for details on this, but haven't had luck, so I'm wondering if the community can help. Converting IIS6 servers into IIS7.5 (finally!) I find that it presents an opportunity to move compression onto the LTM (currently on version 11.1HF2). While I understand how to create a profile, it's the details on which I'm stuck. I'll likely begin with a parent of a wan-compression_profile unless that raises red flags with any of you all. If this is my IISv6 metabase, below, would I convert these into the _URI section_ of a new profile, or the _content list_ section -- and if content list, are these roughly Mime-Type equivalents? IISv6 Metabase /LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/deflate” /LM/W3SVC/Filters/Compression/Gzip” HcDoDynamicCompression="TRUE" HcDoOnDemandCompression=”TRUE” HcDoStaticCompression="TRUE" HcDynamicCompressionLevel="9” HcOnDemandCompLevel="9" HcFileExtensions="htm html xml css txt rdf js" HcScriptFileExtensions=”asp dll exe aspx asmx” HcPriority=”10” //for Deflate Only HcPriority=”1” //for GZIP Only -- URI LISt section: /.html /.htm /.xml /.css CONTENT LIST section: application/x-java-jnlp-file application/x-silverlight-app, etc. -- Would I have to take each of the file extensions and translate them into what appears to be Mime-Types, or may I simply leave these in the URI section like above? (And if URIs, are they global wildcards, or must they be the last item in the URI?) Thanks in advance for any help you can give, -Stuck in IISv6v
