DESCRIPTION
You can use the dest-addr component to configure a destination address affinity persistence profile for the
BIG-IP(r) system. Also known as sticky persistence, destination address affinity persistence supports TCP and
UDP protocols, and directs session requests to the same server based solely on the destination IP address of a
packet.
A persistence profile is a profile that enables persistence when you assign the profile to a virtual server.
Using a persistence profile means that you do not have to write an iRule to implement a type of persistence.
You can either use the default profile, or create a custom profile based on the default.
EXAMPLES
list dest-addr
Displays all destination address affinity persistence profiles.
create dest-addr da_persistence defaults-from dest-addr
Creates a custom destination address affinity persistence profile named da_persistence that inherits its
settings from the default destination address affinity persistence profile.
mv dest-addr /Common/my_dest-addr_profile to-folder /Common/my_folder
Moves a custom destination address persistence profile named my_dest-addr_profile to a folder named my_folder,
where my_folder has already been created and exists within /Common.
OPTIONS
app-service
Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile 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 profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.
defaults-from
Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports settings for the new profile. The default
value is dest_addr, the system default destination address affinity persistence profile.
description
User defined description.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
syntax.
hash-algorithm
Specifies the system uses hash persistence load balancing. The default value is default (no hash
persistence).
The options are:
carp Specifies to use the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP) to select the pool member for LB. The input
to CARP is the hash value of destination address.
default
no hash persistence.
mask Specifies an IP mask. This is the mask used by simple persistence for connections. The default value is
::.
match-across-pools
Specifies, when enabled, that the system can use any pool that contains this persistence record. The
default value is disabled.
match-across-services
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from a client IP address, which go to the same
virtual IP address, also go to the same node. The default value is disabled.
match-across-virtuals
Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from the same client IP address go to the same
node. The default value is disabled.
mirror
Specifies whether the system mirrors persistence records to the high-availability peer. The default value
is disabled.
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and
modify.
override-connection-limit
Specifies, when enabled, that the pool member connection limits are not enforced for persisted clients.
Per-virtual connection limits remain hard limits and are not disabled. The default value is disabled.
partition
Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
a description of regular expression syntax.
timeout
Specifies the duration of the persistence entries. The default value is 180 seconds.
to-folder
dest-addr persistence profiles can be moved to any folder under /Common, but configuration dependencies
may restrict moving the profile out of /Common.
