QuestionQ2

Apply procedural concepts required to modify and manage virtual servers

Which persistence method would be best for F5 to load balance traffic from clients that use a single source IP (NAT) across multiple pool members with even distribution for an HTTPS web application?

Explanation

Cookie persistence uses an HTTP cookie stored by each client to return that client to its previously selected pool member. It avoids treating every NATed client as the same source address, allowing initial client sessions to be distributed among pool members while retaining session affinity. Source-address affinity would map the shared NAT IP address to one member.
