BigIP exhibiting TCP zero Window behavior and closing connection
We have a VIP on our BigIP that sees a lot of connections. The TCP profile applied to the VIP is TCP Progressive with no Nagle. What we are seeing is after a very small amount of data the Window size on the F5 Self IP to Server connection is going to zero. The back-end server is able to maintain its buffer levels. The intention of applying a progressive profile was to take care of varying conditions and connections. We saw over 600 TCP Zero Window instance from the F5 to the server. all being sent by the F5. I am not sure what tweaks to the TCP profile i need to do to solve this problem.2.4KViews0likes3CommentsHTTPS/SSL failing on Windows clients
Hi, we have recently purchased a BigIP VE (12.1) and are initially configuring it, but we are having a very strange problem where any browser from a mac or a linux client can successfully connect to our https site, but any client(chrome, firefox, IE) on any windows machine cannot. That has been tested on 3 different Windows versions (server 2012, windows 8 & windows 10). We are trying to setup multiple sites on a single VS (exactly as in: Configuring a virtual server to serve multiple HTTPS sites using the TLS Server Name Indication feature) Again, after this configuration was completed, everything was working correctly, except on windows systems. So, we tried the steps mentioned here: Troubleshooting SSL/TLS handshake failures The dump got all the way to the first application data packet and then was reset (TCP RST). In the ltm log file we found the following message: Connection error: ssl_hs_rxhello:5771: unsupported version So, after googling around, I fell onto this link ( ssl handshake issue, so I tried to enable sslv3, just to try it out (added DEFAULT:SSLv3 to the base ssl profile). But nothing changed. The ssldump session gets a reset and doesn't show anything else that looks strange. Everything seams normal, except for a duplicate ACK and then a reset (in the wireshark session). I have also tested the ssl communication with the qualys ssl checker, which also tests various browser versions on various builds. All good here, too. Another thing that I should mention is that the certificates facing this issue are all from GoDaddy. Certificates from other CAs work flawlessly. But they only have issues on the BigIP. On nginx and apache there are no issues. Thanks in advance for any repliesSolved1KViews0likes3CommentsAPM :: Remote Desktop List :: Monitor Span/Multimon
Has anybody been able to get monitor spanning to work with an RDP access resource? Neither of these parameters appear to work: I opened a support case with F5 - but the engineer was not entirely helpful. When asking about Java RDP spanning: The short answer is no, Span support isn't available for the Java RDP client. It is possible to configure the MSTSC.exe client to support span however if you absolutely need it. This has been brought up as an RFE on multiple occasions and is a limitation of the underlying Java RDP implementation that PD has said they won't change. When asking about RDP spanning with the native (Windows) client: I am certain I have seen the mstsc monitor span successful with the *span monitors:i:1*. I don't recall off hand if it was using an access portal or the client itself. When pressing about the response: I only saw it work in a lab environment when I was testing against a previous bug with the active x control RDP module. I hadn't configured it, one of my colleagues did and I may have been mistaking what I saw (he may have been connecting directly to a windows box, not through the F5). Does he just not feel like helping people today? If that was my answer to one of my customers I'd be getting some heat from my boss. Our SE says that Mac will have an official RDP launch client (non-Java) and the mstsc launcher has some updates in version 13 that's coming out soon. Not sure if that's the root of my problems or not - and I'm not really interested in upgrading to .0 code right now... so I'd really like to get this to work at least on Windows... Mac is what it is at the moment unless I buy the HOB client (which I likely won't get approval for from management - not to mention it will look really bad when I ask for more money to do something we already have working in the environment with the solution we're replacing ).

Hello, We use the F5 Edge client to connect corporate laptop to VPN once the user is logged into his computer. The client has been customized with the following settings: Enable Always connected mode Allow-Only-In-Enterprise-LAN BIG-IP Edge Client BIG-IP Edge Client COM API Web Browser Add-ons for BIG-IP Edge Client Endpoint Security Component Installer Service DNS Relay Proxy Service Traffic Control Service User Logon Credentials Access Service Machine Certificate Checker Service Inspector Service User VPN is working correctly after Windows logon (auto-connect). We want to make it possible to start the VPN before the Windows login using the Windows Logon Integration feature (as described in K07608215). So we added the following to the package: Dialup Entry/ Windows Logon Integration Prompt Username and Password Enforce Access Policy in Custom Dialer And we assigned a name for the phonebook entry. But for some reason, these settings are not working properly. We don't see any attempt on the F5 APM side and no packet with a tcpdump. And on the end user we get an error "Logging on to the network has failed. Contact your Administrator for assistance". We're running software version 14.1.0.3. Any idea if I missed something here? maybe a client side setting ? Thanks.720Views0likes4CommentsAPM :: EPSEC / OPSWAT :: Dealing with Unsupported Antivirus Applications
How do folks deal with unsupported antivirus applications when requiring passing of this check prior to logging in? For example, some users have repackaged applications from their ISPs, and it is typically something they either pay for or comes with their subscription. They generally aren't too keen on moving to something else because of that. I would entertain the idea of a bypass... but EPSEC doesn't even see it. Removing the troublesome AV suite and enabling/updating Defender would work and get them in... but again, they're generally not too keen on removing something they pay for. And giving the ISP-specific nature of it... I doubt OPSWAT is going to accommodate an update in that regard? Anyway... Does anybody have any tricks for this in their environment? Thanks!292Views0likes0CommentsAccessing File shares through F5 VIP
Hello all, I have a server that hosts lots of roles such as file server, web server, home grown apps, and few other things. I am working on breaking this single serve into 6 servers. 2 Web Servers 2 File Servers 2 Servers for other apps. All servers are windows servers. my plan is to have a single VIP with port 0, and then attach an iRule that handles the traffic as it arrives at the VIP, where it would send traffic distant to port 80 would go to the pool of web servers, and if any of the ports for the other apps, it would go to the pool of servers of the other apps. the one that I am not 100% how to handle is File Servers since they not really load balanced by F5 and the pool will have a single member, which is the file server cluster name, so I could use some help from the experts here and I truly appreciate any help or comments to get this work correctly. Thanks in advance and have a good one.1.6KViews0likes6CommentsShift XP BKF File into Windows 7 & Windows 8 OS
