Persistence on BIG-IP ASM

Hi All,

 

I have a question about persistence profile on ASM. There is no persistence profile configuration for ASM from GUI, below is the capture:

 

 

But if we configure from CLI, then we can add persistence profile there:

 

 

My Question is, if we "force" to configure persistence on ASM from CLI like the capture above, then is it work?

 

Maximum number of pool member on ASM is 3. I just though if this persistence configuration work, then we can accommodate a simple load balancing needs when using ASM only appliance/VM.

 

Thanks anyway..

    It may work but not supported by F5....

     

    If you have a ASM standalone license, persistence is not included... so F5 removed it in GUI.

     

    Here is an official F5 forum, so it is not the right place for asking a question about how to bypass F5 license restrictions.

     

    If you enable it on tmsh, it can work in your version, but not in next release...

     

    If next release doesn't support it, you will have trouble during upgrades (the configuration won't load and may cause upgrade rollback)...
