Exchange 2010 VIP in performane L4 mode with FastL4 profile

Hello All,

 

I would like to understand, what is the best practice to deploy exchange 2010 VIP on F5?

 

Does this VIP support/ works well with Performance Layer4 type and with fast L4 profile?

  • Kalpesh,

     

    F5 has worked extensively with Microsoft to tune and optimize the standard deployment via iApp or the F5 deployment guide. Is there a reason you need to use and L4 deployment over the standard deployment?

     

  • It is not recommended that you attempt to deploy Exchange 2010 using a PerfL4 virtual server. Exchange 2010 deployments vary based upon your exchange architecture and what services you will be deploying.

  • @Cordy,No specific reason. we have this implemented in one of our environment and there we are facing issue with blackberry. I just wanted to be sure if this can be cause of the issue for blackberry disturbance.

     

    @Safeinst: Thanks for link, I will check. Any Idea what is recommended for blackberry connection (RPC) standard or performance L4. we have exchange 2010 servers.

     

  • Read the deployment guide. There are recommended timeout values and an irule in case of using a snatpool for deploying BES.

     

  • Yes, i have read this and irule and timeout is as per DG.

     

    however we are still getting below error when we connect blackberry via F5.
