LB algorithm effect on SSL renewal or removal?

Hello Guys,

 

I just want to know if there is any dependence on LB algorithm when renewing SSL. So I know default is RR but if I am renewing my SSL with LB algorithm LC then do I need to make any changes in the command? Thanks in advance.

 

R

  • I can't imagine the load balancing algorithm of a VIP would have any effect on SSL certificate renewal. Are you renewing the cert through a VIP?

     

  • How you choose a server in a load balancing decision is really less important than the persistence you apply to maintain affinity to that chosen server. The decision itself should have zero effect on your SSL cert renewal process.

     

  • So this is really a "how do I effectively manage multiple BIG-IP devices" sort of question. The easiest answer is to use a management platform like BIG-IQ to manage all of those devices.

     

  • Can we check it using commands or some other method?

     

    Of course you can write REST calls to reach out to all of your BIG-IPs, but that will get very complex.
