SSL Encryption questions
Before running the template you should have already imported a certificate and key onto the
BIG-IP system. While the BIG-IP system does include a self-signed SSL certificate that can be used
internally or for testing, we strongly recommend importing a certificate and key issued from a
trusted Certificate Authority.
For information on SSL certificates on the BIG-IP system, see the online help or the Managing
SSL Certificates for Local Traffic chapter in the Configuration Guide for BIG-IP Local Traffic
Manager available at http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us.html.
To configure the BIG-IP to offload SSL, select Yes from the list.
1. Certificate
Select the certificate for you imported for View from the certificate list.
2. Key
Select the associated key from the list.
Server Pool, Load Balancing, and Service Monitor questions
In this section, you add the View servers and configure the pool.
1. New Pool
Choose Create New Pool unless you have already made a pool on the LTM for the View
devices.
2. Load balancing method
You can choose any of the load balancing methods from the list. In our example, we use the
default, Round Robin.
3. Address/Port
Type the IP Address and Port for each View Connection Server. You can optionally add a
Connection Limit (see note on the left). Click Add to include additional servers to the pool.
4. TCP Request Queuing
TCP request queuing provides the ability to queue connection requests that exceed the
capacity of connections for a pool as determined by the connection limit. Consequently,
instead of dropping connection requests that exceed the capacity of a pool, TCP request
queuing enables those connection requests to reside within a queue in accordance with
defined conditions until capacity becomes available. For more information on TCP Request
Queuing, see the New Features Guide for BIG-IP Version 11, available on Ask F5.
If you want the BIG-IP to queue TCP requests, select Yes from the list. Additional options
appear.
a. Type a queue length in the box. Leave the default of 0 for unlimited.
b. Type a number of milliseconds for the timeout value.
Protocol Optimization Questions
In this section, you configure security and protocol optimizations.
1. WAN or LAN
Specify whether most clients are connecting over a WAN or LAN.
 Important
If you enable TCP Request
Queuing, you must have
a Connection Limit set on
at least one of the nodes
when configuring the
Address/Port
