Partitions and Route Domains

Hi,

Partition and route domains are two different things;

Partitions allow you to assign different right to different administrators regarding specific configuration. For example you have two application deployed on the BIGIP: app1 et app2. You want only app1_admin to be able to access/modify/delete object related to app1. And you want only app2_admin to be able to access/modify/delete object related to app2. solution : you create two partitions, part_app1 and part_app2. and then you assign the following role to app1_admin and app2_admin:

app1_admin administrator on partition part_app1 and guest on partition on partition part_app2

app2_admi administrator on partition part_app2 and guest on partition on partition part_app1

Route domains on the other hand, allow you to give the same IPs to different virtual server that resides in two different route domain. if you are familiar with cisco, they are known as Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF)

Depending on your need you can use partition and/or route domain,

Many thanks
