how to setup GTM?

Hello Friends

 

i want to setup GTM in my environment with 2 data-centers in different geo-locations. can someone please explain how i need to proceed and how to configure it on GTM? I am basically interested in what i should configure on GTM and how it will work. I am already aware of how LTM works and have LTMs in existing network setup.

 

thanks!

  • How to configure it is going to depend greatly on your needs. There is no vanilla setup other than setting them up to be in a GTM sync group. Are you wanting to globally load balance to different location depending on origin, i.e. topology? Are you wanting to load balance based on load in the data centers? Will round robin work? Do you need persistence?
