Configuring Pools :
In order to configure a new pool select the local traffic
section of navigation panel, select pools and click create(either in the fly out menu or on the pool configure screen)
Type a name for the pool, adding a monitor is optional and
then select the load balancing method and member definitions.
Click finished.
Configuring virtual servers:
To configure a new virtual server, select virtual servers
and then click create (either in the flyout menu or on the virtual servers
configuration screen)
Next, type a name for the virtual server as well as its IP
address and port and select profiles if desired. Note
that we will examine profiles in a future module.
Finally, scroll down the resources section and enter your
chosen pool in the default pool setting.
Click finished
Notice the plus (+) sign option next to the default pool.
This allows the BIG-IP administrator to configure a new pool in the midst of
configuring a virtual server.
Network Map
Another important feature in the web configuration utility
is the network map. Network map allows the administrator to view an entire
configuration at once along with the status of all virtual servers and their
components both i-rules and pools.
This can be extremely useful when you need a quick overview
of the current status of yours BIG-IP configuration.
Statistics
There will also be times when you want to determine the
amount of traffic BIG-IP is processing and how its being distributed.
To accomplish this you can view BIG-IP statistics
information with in the web configuration utility.
There are two ways to view statistics. Either select the
overview tab then type of resource or from the statistics tab within the
particular resource.
For example you might choose pools or virtual servers and
then click the statistics tab from that item.
Logs:
Viewing loging information can also be helpful BIG-IP log
files show the status of pool member’s but only if you have assigned monitor to
the pools. You can also use SNMP traps and/or a centralized syslog server for
automatic notification of certain log events.
