Firewall 1 Firewall 2

 

 

Clients will come from behind firewalls and They will pass over F5 units then if F5 see HTTP request he trigger the irule then;

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

 

if { ( [matchclass [HTTP::uri] equals $::blockeddb] ) }

 

{

 

discard

 

}

 

 

}

 

 

blockeddb samples (www.xx.com, www.xx.com/xxx)

 

 

question ;

 

1- Do you suggest this topology with this irule

 

2- how many records can be in data group class

 

3- if i want do add some records in class how can i do this automaticly?

 

4- What do you think about cpu usage, do you suggest biggest model? we have 300-400 mbits traffic in this section and i can position bigger model?

 

 

regards

    I think that using a class would work just fine. A class can hold up to several thousand records, depending on the size of each record. If you're looking to automatically add entries to the class, you'd do that via iControl. And as far as usage of the systems, I really couldn't say, you'd have to talk to a sales person for sizing suggestions.

  • I don't think anyone's going to be able to give you definitive resource usage rates based on your specific configuration. If you're able to test on a dev unit, you'll be able to get the most accurate metrics.
