Pool vs Virtual Server
Hi,
I,m playing with an F5 on my lab environment and have a question.
I have 2 servers with 2 services (http & https) in them and want to balance services, the health monitor is based on access a page via http and receive a 200.
The question I ask myself it's necessary to create 2 pools for each service and two vservers with 2 ports, or one pool with all ports and two vservers with one service port on each? Another approach ? I do not want to apply iRules yet.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
You can apply both. You need 2 separate VS. But then you can have either a pool with pool members listening on all ports or have dedicated pool for http and https.
For the pool listening on wildcard, you need to apply specific settings within your http(s) monitor. (alias port)
