Hi Experts , 

 

What is the use of global-settings remote-host settings ?

 

 

sys global-settings {
    remote-host {
        null {
            addr 127.0.0.1
            hostname null
        }
    }
}

  • Hi Blue_whale,

    That's static host list.

    "Specifies the hosts that the system recognizes as being associated with specific IP addresses."

      On our setup I see remote-host is configured with the loopback IP ..Is there any specific requirement we use loopback in F5 .Can you please explain me on this ?

       null {
                  addr 127.0.0.1
                  hostname null
