Enable session persistence

In the F5 LTM load balancer, the "Virtual Server" feature presents a reachable address that network traffic can be sent to in order to be load balanced. The F5 LTM’s virtual servers are responsible for receiving traffic from clients and servers and deciding how that traffic is routed. Because of this, the F5 LTM virtual server responsible for Bravura Security Fabric traffic must be updated to enable session persistence, and to use the session persistence settings we defined in previous steps.

To configure the virtual server to enable session persistence:

  1. Log in to the BIG-IP administration UI as an administrator.

  2. Navigate to Main > Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > < Bravura Security Fabric virtual server > > Resources.

  3. Under Default Persistence Profile, use the drop-down list to select the cookie persistence profile you created/modified earlier.

  4. Under Fallback Persistence Profile, use the drop-down list to select source_addr.

  5. Click Update.

  6. Under iRules, click Manage...

  7. Under "Available", select the iRule you created earlier with left-click, and press the << button to enable it for this virtual server.

  8. Click Finished to confirm your changes.
