F5 GTM Topology - load balance one wideip with 2 datacenters
Hi DC members,
I have some confusions in deploying the GTM toplogy. As from my understanding, there are 2 methods to LB using the topology : 1. WideIP Level 2. Pool Level
Here is the setup :
DC 1 :
2 x LTM (HA) , 1 x GTM
DC 2 :
2 x LTM (HA) , 1 x GTM
2 sets of users : Country A, Country B.
The requirements :
Both users (CountryA & CountryB) will be using the same WideIP (ie:
Scenario:
User from Country A will have to connect apps in DC1 , and in the event of server failure in DC1, it will be routed to DC2, User from Country B will have to connect apps in DC2 , and in the event of server failure in DC2, it will be routed to DC1, vice versa.
Below is my configurations :
Wide IP : www.abc.com , PoolA : VS1 in DC1, VS2 in DC2, LB Method : Topology
Topology records:
Subnet A , Destination DC1, Weight = 200 | Subnet A , Destination DC2, Weight = 100 | Subnet B , Destination DC2, Weight = 200 | Subnet B , Destination DC1, Weight = 100
Does this configurations correct?
Thanks in advance!
