Hello all, On one of my F5, the load-balancing methods available on pools is limited to "round robin/Ratio (member)/ Ratio (node)". I do not have any other option available (like "Least connections", ...) I Can't find anywhere any info on this. Is this something that can be configured somewhere ? Is it linked to license type maybe ? Does any of you know what is happening and how it can be fixed ? :) Thanks, Regards, Greg

On one of my F5, the load-balancing methods available on pools is limited to "round robin/Ratio (member)/ Ratio (node)". I do not have any other option available (like "Least connections", ...) is it big-ip edge gateway? if yes, yes you need ltm license.

Hello, It is a BIG-IP 4000 with LTM/ASM modules and running on 11.5.1HF11 The issue is that it only give 3 choices for the load-balancing method where it should have like 15-20 possible load balancing methods. Regards, Greg

can you post "tmsh show sys license" output?
