F5 BigIP Configuration

Summary: Configure F5 LTM 1500 to route traffic for an existing site. For the purpose of isolating any unforeseen infrastructure problems, the project needs to be implemented in 4 phases. Each phase will be followed by no less than 2 days of testing. Phase 1.1 ??" Basic Functionality: Route traffic to one IP address to a single internal machine. Test for 2 days. Phase 1.2 -- Basic Load Balancing: This phase implements a simple weighted round-robin load balancing scheme for all traffic across 3 machines. This goal is to identically replace the functionality of the existing Kemp load balancer. The test period for this phase should be no less than 3 working days. Phase 2.1 ??" Path Based Load Balancing: Traffic to [login to view URL] should be routed to a single server. Testing: 1 day. Phase 2.2 ??" Path Based Load Balancing: Traffic to [login to view URL], /api/, /uk/, /cp/, /ed/, should be routed to a set of 1 or more distinct servers (as opposed to the entire cluster). Testing: 2 working days. Phase 3.1 ??" Cache Optimized Load Balancing: Traffic destined to / should be load balanced based on an election hashing algorithm (to maximize cache hits). Test Period: 2 days. [login to view URL] Phase 3.2??" Cache Optimized Load Balancing: Traffic destined to /api/ should be load balanced based on the same election hashing algorithm. Phase 4 ??" Wrap up: Work with our Cisco engineer to make sure nothing is conflicting. Routes, Site to site VPN, etc. A diagram, and some documentation. Specifically step by step instruction on how to add more “Path based load balancing??.
