Overview: Overview of the Standard virtual server
(SOL93017176) TopicSummaryA virtual server is a traffic management object on the BIG-IP system that is represented by a virtual IP address and a service, such as 192.168.20.10:80. When clients send application traffic to the virtual server, the BIG-IP system listens for that traffic and directs the traffic according to the virtual server configuration.A Standard virtual server is a general purpose virtual server that is the default virtual server type when you create a virtual server.

How-To: Using an iRule to load balance HTTP requests to multiple pools
(SOL9800) TopicYou can use an iRule to load balance HTTP requests to different pools, depending on the attributes of the traffic. For example, you can load balance individual HTTP requests to different pools based on the URI path, content type, request parameters, user agent, or other request attributes. However, in order to support proper pool reselection mid-connection, such as supporting multiple HTTP requests arriving on the same Keep-Alive connection, the existing server-side connection must first be

How-To: Accessing the bash shell as a remotely authenticated user
(SOL10272) TopicYou can assign privileges to remote user accounts by mapping vendor-specific attributes to a set of access-control properties defined within the BIG-IP configuration. One of the configurable privileges is remote console access for users. An administrator can enable or disable this privilege; however, the shell program is not a configurable option. Since remote users do not have an account defined in the /etc/passwd file, a custom shell cannot be defined there either. As a result, the shell
