What is Virtual Server Precedence?

--> Virtual Server Precedence in BIG IP F5 is used to select a virtual server when inbound connection is matching more than one virtual server.

--> In order to select particular virtual server, BIG IP F5 implements algorithm in the following order,

i) Checks first Destination Address ( Virtual Server Address)

ii) Checks Source address if the destination address of all the virtual server is same

iii) Checks service port number in case of both destination address and the Source address is same.

--> If the destination address is same on both the virtual servers but subnet mask is different then in that case longest subnet mask is selected.
