Active connections still sent to Pool member marked down by monitor
Hello,
In the documentation, I found following note:
"difference between a disabled pool member, and a pool memberthat a monitor reports as down, is that a disabled pool member continues toprocess persistent and active connections. Conversely, a pool member reportedas down processes no connections whatsoever."
I simulated the scenario: set up a malformed HTTP monitor to the pool members, waited until the monitor marks the pool and VS as down, and started a tcpdump on the server. In the background I was constantly refreshing the browser window so it won't close the active TCP connection.
However, even if the whole VS was marked down because of all members were down as well, the requests kept coming to the server. I know the difference between "disabled" and "forced offline" pool members, but this is something new.
Can someone point me to the right place in the documentation where I can find the exact explanation, please? Because this in contradiction whit what I found.
I'm running version 11.6 and found the expected (but not working in real) behavior here: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm_configuration_guide_10_0_0/ltm_pools.html
Thank you.
