Additional http port

We have a pair of F5 BIG-IP's that we have a http iApp running on.

 

Obviously this uses port 80 but one of the systems that we would like to go through this iApp needs a different port.

 

Can I add additional ports to the iApp?

 

If not how do I get this to work under the same name with the additional port or is this not possible?

 

Thanks for any help.

  • I dont think you can create different iAPP with same name.

     

    You can create iAPP using a different name with same ip address and port 443.

     

    If you want VIPs in the same name, then I would suggest to create VIP manually (without iAPP) with same name.

  • Thanks for the reply.

     

    What we have is a iapp with a name of UI which passes http traffic for an application to a pool of servers. We have another application which needs to communicate with this pool also but on http:9010.

     

    I would prefer to use the same name so and but I am thinking this is not possible.

     

  • If 'UI' is a DNS name, then probably it is easy to implement.

     

    • Create a iapp with name UI_2
    • Give same IP address as UI
    • Give the port number as 9010
    • Create the nodes and give the port as 9010.
    • Select the appropriate profile and monitor configs
    • Save the iapp.

    Let's say UI resolve to 1.1.1.1, the client access will go to UI vip with ip 1.1.1.1:80 and will go to UI_2 VIP with ip 1.1.1.1:9010
