BIG-IP : configure 2-node pool as simple failover
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi
I have a RESTful service deployed on two servers (with no other sites/services).
I've configured BIG-IP as follows :
- single vip dedicated to service
- single pool dedicated to service
- two nodes , one for each server
- one health monitor which determines health of each node
I need to configure this cluster as simple failover where traffic is sent only to primary. So, if node 1 is primary and it fails health monitor, node 2 is promoted to primary and handles all traffic.
How to configure BIG-IP ?
