--> A Pool is a logical group of servers that receive and process the traffic.
--> There are three types of Pools can be configured on the F5 GTM:
1) Server Pools
--> Consists of one or more servers that processes the application traffic.
--> The most common example for server pool is pool consists of web servers.
--> Each of the server pool associated with the load balancing method to select the pool member for receiving the request.
2) Gateway Pools
--> Consists of one or more routers.
--> To configure multiple default gateways on the BIG IP system, We need to configure a gateway pool.
--> With the help of Gateway Pools allows the flow of traffic to continue, even if one of the gateway routers is unable to pass traffic.
--> Each of the Gateway pool associated with the load balancing method to select the pool member for receiving the request.
3) Clone Pools
--> Clone Pool is used when you want to send the virtual server traffic to a pool of IDS/Sniffers.
--> Clone Pool is used to copy the traffic from BIG-System to a Sniffer/IDS.
--> Clone Pool receives the same traffic as the server pool receives.
--> We can configure clone pool in F5 to copy either client-side traffic, server-side traffic or both.
