Adding a last hop pool to an SSL proxy
In cases where you have more than one router sending connections to a
BIG-IP, connections are automatically sent back through the same router
from which they were received when the auto_lasthop global variable is
enabled, as it is by default. If the global auto_lasthop is disabled for any
reason (for example, you may not want it for a virtual server), or if you want
to exclude one or more routers from auto_lasthop you can direct your
replies to the last hop router using a last hop pool. The lasthop pool will take
precedence over auto_lasthop.
To configure a last hop pool, you must first create a pool containing the
router inside addresses. After you create the pool, use the following syntax
to configure a last hop pool for a proxy:
b proxy <ip>:<service> lasthop pool <pool_name>
For example, if you want to assign the last hop pool named ssllasthop_pool
to the SSL proxy 11.12.1.200:443, type the following command:
b proxy 11.12.1.200:443 lasthop pool ssllasthop_pool
Deleting an SSL proxy
If you want to delete the SSL proxy 209.100.19.22:80, type a command
such as the following:
b proxy 209.100.19.22:443 delete
The content converter proxy
The content converter proxy performs conversion of URLs to ARLs
(Akamai Resource Locators). ARLs point to copies of URL targets that are
stored on geographically nearby servers on the Akamai Freeflow Network
TM
for greater speed of access. The conversion from URL to ARL is performed
whenever a client accesses a web page on a customer site containing a URL
with an ARL counterpart, giving it the name on-the-fly content conversion.
On-the-fly content conversion has the advantage that the HTML source does
not need to be updated each time a new ARL is added.
Note
The content converter feature is usable only by customers of the Akamai
Freeflow Network. In addition, the features required to configure this option
are available only on the BIG-IP HA and Enterprise software versions.
Creating a content converter gateway
Configuring a content converter consists of two tasks. First, configure the
Akamai on-the-fly conversion software for your network. Second, create the
content converter gateway using the proxy command. (If the software is not
configured first, the attempt to create a proxy will fail.)
