Traffic Draining

Hi Everyone i have one question is there traffic draining concept in f5 ? i.e assume i have 2 active servers connected to the f5 and i want one of the servers to be down for maintenance purpose so without affecting the connection (currently started requests will be finished but it doesn't accept any more requests).

  • Hello starboy,

     

    You can try that way:

     

    Go to

     

    Local Traffic ›› Pools : Pool List ›› "pool_with_server_to_be_stopped">>

     

    tab "Members" >> choose member/server that will go to maintenance.

     

    Next you can set the state you want.

     

    HTH

      Hi again,

       

      Just for clarification,

       

      You can set the state to be:

       

      • Enabled (All traffic allowed)

         

      • Disabled (Only persistent or active connections allowed)

         

      • Forced Offline (Only active connections allowed)

         

      After that press "Update" of course...
