Source Address persistence profile consistency among different VSs

 

Hi All,

 

Hope my email finds you doing well ,,

 

I have received one request from our proxy's admin and I would like to know if it is possible to achieve this requirement or not.

 

We have three VSs configured as below:

 

0.0.0.0:80

 

0.0.0.0:443

 

10.1.1.1:8080

 

Each VS has it's own pool (the same two nodes among all the pools) with different ports' numbers. The persistence profile used for all is sorce-address based. LC (member) is used for all pools as LB algorithm

 

As per my knowledge, F5 will handle each VS requests seperately, i,e LB deceision and persist the session.

 

The example will clarify the requirement, if the client is sending HTTP request and it's forwarded to NodeA and persist the connection within the timeout value 180sec, is it possible for the same client if he is sending HTTPS request within this timeout value to force him going to the same NodeA. The same will be applicable for 8080 VS as well.

 

Thanks in advance all.
