    Hi Camilo,

     

    You could create a separate virtual server with a type of fastL4. I'd restrict traffic to that VS to the specific IP(s) the testing is being done from. You could use the source mask on 11.4+, an iRule, AFM, external firewall or other method to limit the source address(es) that can connect to the virtual server.
