If you have an existing backend server pool and frontend virtual server that you want to use, skip to Adding the PingIntelligence policy.

If you do not have a backend server pool and frontend virtual server:

  1. Create a backend server pool:
    1. Navigate to Local Traffic > Pools > Pool List and click Create.
      A screen capture of the Pool List page.
    2. In the Configuration page for the pool, configure the fields and add a new node for the backend.
      A screen capture of the New Pool List page.
    3. Click Finished.
      A screen capture of the Backend pool showing on the Pool List page.

      This creates a backend server pool, which is accessed from clients connecting to the frontend virtual server.

  2. Add a frontend virtual server:
    1. Navigate to Local Traffic > Virtual Server > Virtual Server List and click Create.
      A screen capture of the Virtual Server List page.
    2. Configure the frontend virtual server details. At a minimum, configure the following values:
      • Destination Address: This is the virtual IP address that is used for the frontend.
      • SSL Profile (Client): Configure if the frontend is SSL.
      • SSL Profile (Server): Configure if the backend is SSL.
      A screen capture of the New Virtual Server page.
    3. Click Finished.
    4. Under the Resource tab, set the Default Pool as Backend and click Update.
