Best Way to Do Active/Standby on f5
Hello All,
Sorry for the basic post but I am new to f5 and coming from the Cisco 115xx load balancers.
In the 115xxx WebNS there is the idea of a Sorry Server (can have a couple of them) which basically means
-Send all Traffic to Server A for a service
-If Server A fails keepalive send all traffic to Server B
-If Server B fails keepalive send all traffic to Server C
So this is not the normal all nodes active or active but weighted that I have made rules for so far in the f5. This is active/standby and we only want traffic to go to one member of the pool at a time but still provide HA.
I think maybe I could just give all weight to Server A in a pool and no weight to Server B to accomplish what I am trying for but thought I would ask how best to do this before proceeding.
Thanks for helping a noobie
