  • I would think you could add VIP2 as a fallback member of the pool on the first BIG-IP (VIP1) and vice-versa. If you are already using persistence then if all nodes are down it should go to the fallback member (the other VIP) and it should persist there.

    Hi Zafer -

     

     

    Many customers use use Priority groups in the pool to use remote servers as the "pool of last resort".

     

     

    If you always want the local server(s) to be used, you can use the following configuration:

     

    1) Put both local and remote servers in the pool in each data center, assigning the local server(s) higher priority

     

    2) Add a monitor to the pool and verify all servers can be successfully monitored

     

    3) Configure SNATs as necessary to force response traffic back to LTM when LB to the remote servers.

    Hi deb,

     

    Site A --- pool_a (node1,node2) vip A

     

    Site B --- pool_b (node3,node4) vip B

     

     

    if vip A goes down i want forward traffic to vip B and keep connectivity this site 1 day (i dont want node based persistency)

     

     

    i though i can do like this

     

     

    i will create irule and if lb::down reselect pool_b

     

    but how can i give persistency on SiteB for 1 day

     

     

    best regards
