NimbostratusHello Experts,
I have this configuration written in a Cisco ACE config. I want to convert this to F5 config. Can anyone please help me to write the F5 equivalent config?
probe https ACE_PROBE
port 8447
faildetect 2
ssl version all
request method get url /path/file.html
expect status 200 200
CumulonimbusTaking it ine by line:
port 8447
The port 8447 is only needed as part of the monitor if the pool member is not using port 8447, else you can ignore it.
faildetect 2
Cisco ACE probes uses a failure count but the F5 uses a timeout, so to get the same you need to set a monitor interval of 15 (the Cisco ACE default for http probes) and a timeout of 31 (2 x interval + 1)
ssl version all
Use the default HTTPS monitor cipersuite configuration
request method get url /path/file.html
The request (send) will be a HTTP 1.0 request from the ACE so you can use the following on the F5
GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0
finally
expect status 200 200
In the receive of the monitor configure you are looking for the status response of 200 OK
200 ok
Complete monitor config:
ltm monitor https /Common/ACE_PROBE {
adaptive disabled
cipherlist DEFAULT:+SHA:+3DES:+kEDH
compatibility enabled
defaults-from /Common/https
destination *:*
interval 15
ip-dscp 0
recv "200 ok"
send "GET /path/file.html HTTP/1.0"
time-until-up 0
timeout 31
}
