Link Controller - Create Link(ISP) object

Hi All,

 

I have to install LC, Need your suggestions and help on configuration. I don't want to do any changes(no NAT changes) on existing customer firewall.

 

1) My LC deployment architecture

 

LAN ---> Bluecoat proxy ---> Firewall (Ext Int public IP from one ISP) ----->(Int int private IP) LC (ext int public IP) ----> two ISPs

 

Do you see any mistake in deployment architecture

 

2) Bit confused with defining Link object configuration : - Router Address List

 

- Uplink

 

From your experience from any installation what ip address I have use in link object

 

3) How to achieve session persistence for outbound traffic using irule apart from destination affinity. This I need, since customer access few public website with first page on server 1 but after clicking login users are redirected to server 2. so both server 1 and server 2 request should go through one ISP.

 

4) Anybody tried bandwidth management for outbound traffic eg : http 50%, smtp 10%, etc

 

application delivery
availability
deployment
design
LTM

    The default gateway is used when traffic is originated by the F5. This would include monitors, SNMP, and so on. The Forwarding VS is used for traffic going THROUGH the LTM, and is handled separately. You can use destination address affinity, just modify the mask to something near a class C network mask to reduce the persistence table size.
