Convert HTTP iRule to TCP
We have a client/server application that uses a private written client that connects to a server through the LTM. The client app is installed on the users local workstation and then is used to connect to a virtual server on our LTM. The client sends the initial connection request as a malformed header which contains a session id that is then used for persistence. The current iRule we are using contains HTTP commands, so a HTTP profile is required on the virtual server. But, since this not a true HTTP application, we have some issues when using the HTTP profile. So, I am trying to convert the existing iRule from using the HTTP commands and try and use the TCP payload to get the session id. I am an amateur iRule creator, so I was hoping to get some help and to even see if this is possible. The current iRule is listed below. I want to achieve the same result but with using the TCP payload. That way the HTTP profile will not be needed. Current iRule when RULE_INIT { #Sets logging level (0 = no logging 1 = logging) set ::debug 0 #Sets persistence timeout in seconds set ::timeout 900 } when HTTP_REQUEST { #Checks if Content-Session header exists if { [HTTP::header exists "Content-Session"] }{ #Grab Content-Session header value set sessionid [HTTP::header "Content-Session"] if {$::debug}{ log local0. "Content-Session value for [IP::client_addr] is: $sessionid"} #Persist connection based on Content-Session value catch { persist uie $sessionid $::timeout } } } when HTTP_RESPONSE { #Checks for Content-Session header if { [HTTP::header exists "Content-Session"] }{ #Grap Content-Session header value set sessionid [HTTP::header "Content-Session"] if {$::debug}{ log local0. "Content-Session value for [IP::remote_addr] is: $sessionid"} #Setup Persistence record catch { persist add uie $sessionid $::timeout } } }
3rd interface on BIG-IQ VE
Hi, on my BIG-IQ VE 5.1 I have 3 VMXNET3 network adapters. CLI command ifconfig shows all interfaces (eth0,1,2) but if I connect over the Web GUI I can see just interfaces 1.1 and 1.2 Is it possible to use the 3rd interface as well and assign another VLAN to this interface. Unfortunately I couldn't find any instruction how to do it? Thank you in advance. Reg. Janus
what is needed to make floating IP?
I downloaded Big-IP LTM VE 11.3 and start it on my vmware workstation. During configuration from web UI, there's a step where I need to specify self IP and floating IP for VLAN. When I entered and IP address it showed "required". How do I do this on vmware workstation 11?
