Tasks

Use the AI Assistant and enter the following prompt:

Can you check the virtual servers named 'web-app-foo' and their associated objects across all BIG-IPs in all Data Centers to verify that the configuration is the same?

(Tell the AI assistant yes to all datacenters if it asks you the scope of the question)

Review the information returned. Do you see any configuration differences between EastRegion-bigip-01 and WestRegion-bigip-01?

If differences are identified, validate them by navigating to: Dashboard >> BIG-IP Device >> Device Virtual Server and Dashboard >> BIG-IP Device >> Device Pools

Compare the configuration of web-app-foo on each device:

Identify and explain the configuration differences that could impact application behavior.

Deliverables
