The BIG-IP Administrator disable all pool members in a pool Users are still able to reach the pool members. What is allowing users to continue to reach the disabled poo! members?

A slow to time on a pool typically relates to health monitor intervals or timeouts for new connections, not overriding the disabled status for existing persistent sessions.

A persistence profile ensures that subsequent connections from a client with an active session are directed to the same pool member, even if that member has been disabled or marked down. This overrides the disabled status for persistent sessions.

A slow ramp time on a virtual server applies to newly enabled pool members, gradually allowing them to receive connections, and does not apply to maintaining connections to disabled members.

Persistence profiles are applied to virtual servers, not directly to pools; the profile defines how the virtual server handles persistence for its associated pools and members.
