Viprion Failover:
* The Standby cluster (chassis) monitors the Active cluster using either the cluster IP address, or the self IP address of VLAN HA.
Setting up a pair of Viprions in a redundant state requires a number of components to be configured and/or considered:
* Failover IP address;
* HA Group;
* Synchronization of configurations;
* Failback is also known as preemption, that is, when a failover has occured and the previously available cluster is available again, the original Active unit will become Active again.
* HA Group: A collection of Big-IP objects whose health is checked (HA score) to determine the initiation of a failover event.
* Network Mirroring: Where connections on the Active unit are mirrored to the standby unit.
* Fail-safe: A custom monitor defined by the administrator used to help determine the occurence of a failover event.
Cluster IP address: "F5 Networks strongly recommends that you define a management IP address for each slot. By doing so, you ensure that you can access any blade in the cluster if access through the cluster IP address is unsuccessful.
Important: All management IP addresses for the individual cluster members (slots) must be on the same network as the cluster IP address. Also, the gateway and netmask for the cluster IP address become the default values for the gateway and netmask for each individual management IP address."

F5 Big-IP - Cookies, Persistence, and SSL.
Cookies provide a way to make http requests stateful. When a HTTP request is made from a client to a server, each request is independant of the previous, that is the server does not keep track of what happened in the previous request. To make http requests stateful and relate them Cookies can be used. Cookies provide a means for the server to record which http requests belong to the same client.
On an F5 Big-IP LTM, there are options to apply Cookie persistence profile to a Virtual Server. The Cookie profile can be customised and hence there are a number of options which administrators can select to meet their requirements. Of these options the main one is the Mode. Cookies can applied in one of four Modes - Hash, Insert, Rewrite, and Passive.
* Hash mode: In Hash mode, the Original Web Server (OWS) generates the Cookie. You can specify in Hash mode the name of the Cookie Name, Offset (The number of bytes in the cookie to skip before calculating the hash value), and Length (This is the number of bytes to use when calculating the hash value). The Timeout option does not apply in Hash mode.
* Insert mode: In Insert mode, as the name implies the Big-IP with this Cookie mode inserts a cookie into the HTTP response from the server that contains information about the OWS. The expiration time of the cookie is determined by the timeout configured on the Big-IP. You can set the expiration to an explicit amount of time or with a value of "session". A session cookie is a cookie which is set without an expiration date. Session cookies are generally stored in volatile memory by clients and expire when the user session expires (i.e. when the browser is shut down
* Rewrite mode: If you specify Rewrite mode, the Big-IP Controller intercepts a cookie, named BIGipCookie (the server must name its cookie BIGipCookie), sent from the server to the client and rewrites the name of the cookie to BIGipServer. When the BIG/ip Controller rewrites the cookie, the server information and time-out value are reset.
Rewrite mode requires you to set up the cookie created by the server. In order for Rewrite mode to work, there needs to be a blank cookie coming from the web server for BIG/ip to rewrite. With Apache variants, the cookie can be added to every web page header by adding an entry in the httpd.conf file:
Header add Set-Cookie
BIGipCookie=0000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000...
(The cookie should contain a total of 75 zeros.)
* Passive mode: In Passive mode the Big-IP does not search or insert cookies into the HTTP header of responses from the server. The server is expected to create a cookie add the encoding representing the node and port information. A sample http with a cookie and encoding may look as follows:
Header add Set-Cookie:
BIGipServer=184658624.20480.000; expires=Sat,
19-Aug-2000 19:35:45 GMT; path=/
In this example, 184658624 is the encoded node address and 20480 is the encoded port.
The equation for an address (a.b.c.d) is:
d*256^3 + c*256^2 + b*256 +a.
The way to encode the port is to take the two bytes that store the port and reverse them. So, port 80 becomes 80 * 256 + 0 = 20480. Port 1433 (instead of 5 * 256 + 153) becomes 153 * 256 + 5 = 39173.

DNS Notes
A domain level name server may contain a list of DNS servers where a name record is kept. It then informs the resolver of the IP address(es) or location of these DNS servers. The resolver then attempts to query the ADNS servers. It attempts to resolve against the first server (ns1.x.x.x.x), if query fails then it attempts the to query the second (ns2.x.x.x.x) and so forth.
A DNS server may contain multiple addresses for a domain name. When requests are made to the DNS server from the resolver, the server shuffles the multiple IP addresses associated with the domain name then selects one to return to the client.
A name record is constant in a DNS server. For example, if a web server hosting domain www.mywebserver.com which a name record points to is no longer available the name record will continue to point to that server. A GTM device is useful in monitoring servers in a redundant setup and returning an IP address associated with a server which is reachable.

F5 Big-IP: Performing a clean install or rebuild
Recently I have been trying to apply a hotfix to a Big-IP without any luck. Numerous attempts have resulted in failed installations. I have tried both earlier and later hotfixes without any success. This suggested to me the Big-IP volumes were either corrupted or something went terribly wrong during the previous upgrade. To resolve the problem I decided the only way forward was to rebuild the device or set it back to its factory defaults and then install the new image.
The steps are detailed in the F5 Solution document SOL10819. However I will try to provide here the steps I took and some of the issues I encountered along the way.
1. Download the installation image: For my rebuild I selected version 10.2.0 1707.0 to match up with our device in production.
2. Verify the integrity of the files. In my case I used the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility from Microsoft. You can download it for Windows here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
Set the path of where you extracted the FCIV files at the cmd prompt:
set path=%path%;c:\fciv
Sample output:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\me>cd /fciv
C:\fciv>set path=%path%;c:\fciv
C:\fciv>fciv BIGIP-10.0.1.283.0.iso
//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//
ef9fdbf673d6355a74c2bae7980127f3 bigip-10.0.1.283.0.iso
C:\fciv>
Ensure ef9fdbf673d6355a74c2bae7980127f3 value equals that found in the corresponding md5 file downloaded from F5.
3. Installation method. For this step I chose to use an external USB drive. Since I am trying to rebuild on a 6400 series hardware the following utilities will be needed on a Linux device to make a bootable USB drive. See "Creating a Bootable USB Thumb Drive" in the Big-IP Gettint Started Guide.
"For BIG-IP platforms 1500, 3400, 3410, 6400, 6800, 8400, and 8800, the workstation must have the following utilities:
sfdisk: changes disk partitioning.
mke2fs: creates a Linux (ext2) file system.
extlinux: represents a lightweight bootloader that starts up computers with the Linux kernel."
Since Linux is not my forte :) and I have a spare F5 lying around, I decide to use the F5 to make my bootable USB stick. If you don't like reading, I found this great video on Youtube that shows you how to do it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KQ7MMWlwp4
Below are the steps I used to create the bootable USB:
a) Login into the Big-IP as root. Copy the iso file to the /tmp directory of the Big-IP:
cp /mnt/usb/myisofilename.iso /shared/images
b) Create the directory /mnt/cd to mount the iso file to:
mkdir /mnt/cd
c) Mount the iso file to the /mnt/cd directory:
cd /shared/images
mount -o loop BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.iso /mnt/cd
mount
I had many issues when trying to mount the USB drive. Some of the error messages included:
[root@BIGIP-6400:Active] cd # ./mkdisk
..cpio: write error: No space left on device
./mkdisk: line 18: /tmp/mkdisk.CVn667/usr/lib/install/umdinstall: No such file or directory
To resolve the problem I unmounted and removed the /mnt/cd path. I also removed the the /mnt/usb mount I originally made from a previous attempt. The when I applied the mount command I ensured the following line showed:
/shared/images/BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.iso on /mnt/cd type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop1)
d) Run the mkdisk utility in the /mnt/cd directory:
cd /mnt/cd
./mkdisk
e) The Big-IP will then prompt you to answer a series of questions. This will assist it to create a bootable USB drive relevant to your hardware platform.
Below is a sample output:

Youtube - Preparing F5 USB boot disk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KQ7MMWlwp4
The steps are detailed in the F5 Solution document SOL10819. However I will try to provide here the steps I took and some of the issues I encountered along the way.
1. Download the installation image: For my rebuild I selected version 10.2.0 1707.0 to match up with our device in production.
2. Verify the integrity of the files. In my case I used the File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility from Microsoft. You can download it for Windows here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290
Set the path of where you extracted the FCIV files at the cmd prompt:
set path=%path%;c:\fciv
Sample output:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Users\me>cd /fciv
C:\fciv>set path=%path%;c:\fciv
C:\fciv>fciv BIGIP-10.0.1.283.0.iso
//
// File Checksum Integrity Verifier version 2.05.
//
ef9fdbf673d6355a74c2bae7980127f3 bigip-10.0.1.283.0.iso
C:\fciv>
Ensure ef9fdbf673d6355a74c2bae7980127f3 value equals that found in the corresponding md5 file downloaded from F5.
3. Installation method. For this step I chose to use an external USB drive. Since I am trying to rebuild on a 6400 series hardware the following utilities will be needed on a Linux device to make a bootable USB drive. See "Creating a Bootable USB Thumb Drive" in the Big-IP Gettint Started Guide.
"For BIG-IP platforms 1500, 3400, 3410, 6400, 6800, 8400, and 8800, the workstation must have the following utilities:
sfdisk: changes disk partitioning.
mke2fs: creates a Linux (ext2) file system.
extlinux: represents a lightweight bootloader that starts up computers with the Linux kernel."
Since Linux is not my forte :) and I have a spare F5 lying around, I decide to use the F5 to make my bootable USB stick. If you don't like reading, I found this great video on Youtube that shows you how to do it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KQ7MMWlwp4
Below are the steps I used to create the bootable USB:
a) Login into the Big-IP as root. Copy the iso file to the /tmp directory of the Big-IP:
cp /mnt/usb/myisofilename.iso /shared/images
b) Create the directory /mnt/cd to mount the iso file to:
mkdir /mnt/cd
c) Mount the iso file to the /mnt/cd directory:
cd /shared/images
mount -o loop BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.iso /mnt/cd
mount
I had many issues when trying to mount the USB drive. Some of the error messages included:
[root@BIGIP-6400:Active] cd # ./mkdisk
..cpio: write error: No space left on device
./mkdisk: line 18: /tmp/mkdisk.CVn667/usr/lib/install/umdinstall: No such file or directory
To resolve the problem I unmounted and removed the /mnt/cd path. I also removed the the /mnt/usb mount I originally made from a previous attempt. The when I applied the mount command I ensured the following line showed:
/shared/images/BIGIP-10.2.0.1707.0.iso on /mnt/cd type iso9660 (rw,loop=/dev/loop1)
d) Run the mkdisk utility in the /mnt/cd directory:
cd /mnt/cd
./mkdisk
e) The Big-IP will then prompt you to answer a series of questions. This will assist it to create a bootable USB drive relevant to your hardware platform.
Below is a sample output:

Upgrading F5 Big-IP from version 9.1.x to 9.3.1 - Local Install
1. Download the image (.im) and accompanying md5 file from the F5 support site.
2. SCP to your Big-IP and transfer the image and md5 file to the directory /shared/tmp
3. Connect to the Console port of your Big-IP. This ensures during reboot you do not loose connectivity to the CLI of the Big-IP.
4. Extract the .im file and run installation script. Apply the following command:
im local-install-9.3.1.37.1.im
5. The system then prompts you for some installation options to be selected.

====================================================
## IPv6 Test sites: They are used to test the readiness of your host to communitcate over IPv6. Test sites include:
* http://www.test-ipv6.com
* http://www.ipv6-test.com
## IPv6 Brokers: They are required to connect your IPv6 enabled hosts to the IPv6 Internet world through IPv4 networks. Your network edge will still have a IPv4 Internet connection, whilst hosts behind it will be IPv6. IPv6 brokers includes , Hurricane Electric Services or browse to "http://tunnelbroker.net/".
