Need help with UDP profile creation

Hi All,

 

Need assistance with creating UDP monitor. Below are the requirement:

 

UDP monitor should probe on 2723 and it should contain the string "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" with a hex value of 02 before the string and a hex value of 00 after it. So the full hex string of the data segment would be: 02 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5A 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 00. The servers will respond with their hostname (e.g., host1 or host2) followed by a pipe character ("|") followed by the string sent ("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789") to indicate success.

 

Not sure if this is correct forum as we recently moved from ACE to F5 and still trying to learn the configuration.

 

Any suggestion?

 

Thanks

  • Is your server expecting the send string in Hex or ASCII? Also, for your receive string, you can't use a variable so you can either use one monitor for them all checking for "|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789", or create a unique monitor for each node checking for "|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789", or create an external monitor that uses a perl script to perform you test.
  • Brad, Yes the server expecting send string in Hex. So you are saying I can create standard UDP monitor with GET and hex value and in receive I should mention "|ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789" OK? Thanks
