1 Virtual Server with 1 Pool and Multiple Pool Members (Using Port 9443, 9444)

Hello,

 

I am new to f5 load balancer and would want to find out if i could create - 1 Virtual Server (Using Port 80) - 1 Pool - 4 Pool Members (1.1.1.2:9444, 1.1.1.2:9443, 1.1.1.3:9444 & 1.1.1.3:9443)

  • Sure - no problem doing that. As long as the service is actually running on those ports it will be fine.

     

  • I am unaware of your exact virtual server configuration, but do you have port translation checked (and possibly address translation)?

     

  • Hi,

     

    Have you checked persistency? You can also check if a server SSL profile is needed.

     

    Check the /var/ltm log-file and run tcpdump on F5 and servers to see what is going.

     

    Regards, Martijn.
