Properties

Name Type Description
kind string Resource type identifier for a virtual server.
name string Unique name of the virtual server resource within its partition.
fullPath string Full administrative path including partition (e.g., /Common/my_virtual).
generation integer Configuration generation counter incremented on each change.
selfLink string Self-referencing URI for this virtual server resource.
addressStatus string Whether the virtual contributes to the operational status of the associated virtual address.
autoLasthop string Automatic last hop setting controlling return traffic routing when the BIG-IP is not the default gateway.
cmpEnabled string Whether Clustered Multi-Processing (CMP) acceleration is enabled for this virtual server.
connectionLimit integer Maximum number of concurrent connections allowed for this virtual server. A value of 0 means unlimited connections.
description string User-defined description of the virtual server and its purpose.
destination string Destination IP address and service port the virtual server listens on, specified in /partition/address:port or /partition/address.port format.
disabled boolean When true, the virtual server does not accept new connections. Existing connections are maintained.
enabled boolean When true, the virtual server accepts and processes client traffic.
fallbackPersistence string Persistence profile to use as a fallback when the primary persistence method fails to establish a session.
gtmScore integer Score value used by the Global Traffic Manager for load balancing decisions across data centers.
ipProtocol string Network protocol the virtual server handles.
mask string Network mask for the destination address. Use 255.255.255.255 for a host-specific virtual server or a subnet mask for a network virtual server.
mirror string Whether connection and persistence state mirroring is enabled for high-availability failover scenarios.
nat64 string Whether NAT64 IPv6-to-IPv4 address translation is enabled.
partition string Administrative partition containing this virtual server resource.
persist array Persistence profiles applied to the virtual server for maintaining session affinity.
pool string Default pool that receives traffic from this virtual server, specified as a full partition-qualified path.
profiles array Traffic processing profiles applied to this virtual server (e.g., HTTP, TCP, SSL profiles).
rateLimit string Maximum number of new connections per second. A value of 'disabled' or '0' means no rate limiting.
rateLimitMode string Scope at which rate limiting is applied.
rateLimitDstMask integer Destination address mask bits used for rate limit tracking.
rateLimitSrcMask integer Source address mask bits used for rate limit tracking.
rules array iRules applied to this virtual server for custom traffic processing logic.
source string Source address filter. Only connections from this network are accepted by the virtual server.
sourcePort string Source port translation behavior controlling how client source ports are handled.
synCookieStatus string Current SYN Cookie DDoS protection status.
translateAddress string Whether destination address translation is enabled. When enabled, the BIG-IP translates the destination address to the pool member address.
translatePort string Whether destination port translation is enabled. When enabled, the BIG-IP translates the destination port to the pool member port.
vlansEnabled boolean When true, the virtual server is enabled only on VLANs listed in the vlans property.
vlansDisabled boolean When true, the virtual server is disabled on VLANs listed in the vlans property.
vlans array List of VLANs on which the virtual server is enabled or disabled, depending on vlansEnabled/vlansDisabled setting.
vsIndex integer System-assigned index for the virtual server.
