Although it is possible to use the default profiles, we strongly recommend
you create new profiles based on the default parent profiles, even if you do
not change any of the settings initially. Creating new profiles allows you to
easily modify the profile settings specific to this deployment, and ensures
you do not accidentally overwrite the default profile.
Creating an HTTP profile
The first new profile we create is an HTTP profile. The HTTP profile
contains numerous configuration options for how the BIG-IP LTM system
handles HTTP traffic. In the following example, we base our HTTP profile
off of the http-wan-optimized-compression-caching parent.
To create a new HTTP profile
1. On the Main tab, expand Local Traffic, and then click Profiles.
The HTTP Profiles screen opens.
2. Click the Create button. The New HTTP Profile screen opens.
3. In the Name box, type a name for this profile. In our example, we
type Tomcat-app-opt.
4. From the Parent Profile list, select
http-wan-optimized-compression-caching.
5. Optional: If you using the BIG-IP LTM to offload SSL, in the
Settings section, check the Custom box for Redirect Rewrite, and
from the Redirect Rewrite list, select Match. See
Configuring the
WAN emulator, on page 31 for more information.
6. Modify any of the other settings as applicable for your network. In
our example, we leave the settings at their default levels.
7. Click the Finished button.
Creating the TCP profile
The next profile we create are the TCP profile. In our example, we create a
LAN optimized TCP profile.
To create a new TCP profile
1. On the Main tab, expand Local Traffic, and then click Profiles.
The HTTP Profiles screen opens.
2. On the Menu bar, from the Protocol menu, click tcp.
3. Click the Create button.
The New TCP Profile screen opens.
4. In the Name box, type a name for this profile. In our example, we
type Tomcat-tcp-lan.
5. From the Parent Profile list, select tcp-lan-optimized.
6. Modify any of the settings as applicable for your network. In our
example, we leave the settings at their default levels.
