Restrict client version

Is there a way to limit the client version that is allowed to connect to the APM headends? example and clients under 7103 are not allowed to connect but everything above can.

  • Hello Steven,

     

    It might be easier to just enable auto-update on your connectivity profile. That way, any clients connecting in using an older version of the edge client will be updated to the most recent version your big-ip version supports.

     

    Best of luck,

     

    Austin

      That was a thought be have noticed issues with the update as admin rights are restricted. Is there another way?

      Not that I know of or can find. There obviously has to be some sort of check in the background for the auto-update function to work, but I can't find any session variables that refer to the edge client version in session reports or in F5's documentation, and there's nothing in the client-side endpoint checking that refers to it.

       

      If you could find the variable or the check process, then you could definitely set up either an iRule or add something to your VPE. The problem just seems to be finding it.
