DESCRIPTION
You can use the peer component to manage a named generic message peer. A peer specifies the pool for the generic message
parser to use as the destination for generic message routes. You can also use the peer component to specify how many
connections the parser creates to a remote host and what transport the parser uses to establish the connection.
EXAMPLES
create peer my_peer { pool my_pool transport { type virtual name my_vip } }
Creates a generic message peer named my_peer which uses the settings of my_vip to establish a connection with a pool member
from pool my_pool.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the object belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the
strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify or delete the
object. Only the application service can modify or delete the object.
auto-initialization
If enabled, the BIGIP will automatically create outbound connections to the active pool members in the specified pool
using the configuration of the specified transport-config. For auto-initialization to attempt to create a connection,
the peer must be included in a route that is attached to a router instance. For each router instance that the peer is
contained in, a connection will be initiated. The auto-initialization logic will verify at a configurable interval if
the a connection exists between the BIG-IP and the pool members of the pool. If a connection does not exist, it will
attempt to reestablish one. The default is disabled.
auto-initialization-interval
Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) that attempts to initiate a connection occur. Valid ranges are from 500ms to
65535ms. The default is 5000ms.
connection-mode
Specifies how the number of connections per host is limited. Note a host (specified in the referred pool) may exist
more than one peer object, and those peer objects may have different settings for connection-mode and
number_connections. Thus, these settings specify how messages are routed through this peer are distributed between a
set of connections, not the maximum number of connections to a specified host. The default value is per-peer.
per-peer
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host.
per-blade
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per blade in the cluster.
per-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per TMM in the system.
per-client
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection.
per-client-per-blede
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection for each blade.
per-client-per-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection for each tmm.
per-peer-alternate-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host. Any new connections will be opened on an alternate TMM to
spread CPU usage.
per-client-alternate-tmm
Specifies the number of connections to a remote host per client connection. Any new connections will be opened on
an alternate TMM to spread CPU usage.
description
User defined description.
number-connections
Specifies the distribution of connections between the BIG-IP system and a remote host. The default value is 1.
pool Specifies the name of the pool to which the generic parser routes messages.
ratio
Specifies the ratio the generic message parser uses to select a peer from a list of peers for the ltm message-routing
generic route. The default value is 1.
transport-config
Specifies the name of the transport configuration (ltm message-routing generic transport-config) the message router
uses to create an outgoing connection.
