ASM and TCP based applications
Hello, I am not an F5 expert, but am asking on behalf of a customer. I am trying to find the following:
Can ASM be leveraged to inspect application traffic when the application is using a TCP (not HTTP) based access policy? If so, is this out of the box or is there special configuration required? The customer is using Big-IP using F5 for reverse proxy and SSL offload.
Any help would (and links) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Marcus
Hello,
ASM is a Web application firewall and is dedicated to the protection of web apps.
You can use the ASM license to protect smtp and ftp services.
If you have a custom TCP app, you have better to go with LTM, irules and IP Intelligence (ip reputation db)
