bigpipe virtual command with the following syntax:
b virtual *:* use pool <pool_name>
Creating multiple wildcard servers
In previous releases, BIG-IP supported one wildcard virtual server only,
designated by the IP address 0.0.0.0. With this release, you can define
multiple wildcard virtual servers, all running simultaneously. Each wildcard
virtual server must be assigned to an individual VLAN, and therefore
handles packets for that VLAN only.
To create multiple wildcard virtual servers, you can use either the
Configuration utility or the bigpipe virtual command.
To create multiple wildcard virtual servers using the
Configuration utility
To create multiple wildcard virtual servers using the Configuration utility,
use the following procedure:
1. In the Navigation pane, select Virtual Servers.
The Virtual Servers screen displays.
2. Click the Add button.
3. In the Address field, type the IP address 0.0.0.0.
4. In the Service field, type the name of a service or select a service
from the list box.
5. Click Next.
6. From the VLAN box, choose a VLAN name. Selecting all creates a
default wildcard virtual server.
7. Click Next.
8. Continue configuring all properties for the wildcard virtual server.
Note that on the Configure Basic Properties screen, if you are
creating a default wildcard virtual server, you can disable any
VLANs associated with that wildcard virtual server.
9. Click Done.
Repeat for each wildcard virtual server that you want to create.
To create multiple wildcard virtual servers from the
command line
To create a separate wildcard virtual server per VLAN from the command
line, use the following command-line syntax:
b virtual <vlan_name> use pool <pool_name>
