Big-IP and reserved SSL port numbers
Hello,
We have Big-IP and an application that currently uses a reserved port (for example 4799) for Client-server communication.
What options do we have from a Big-IP perspective.
Is Big-IP "pass through" the only option or is there any suggestions or previous documents / discussion that I could research?
Could I get BIG-IP to decrypt/encrypt the communication between the client and F5 and forward the communication on to the server using a different port number (ie, 799) in decrypted form?
The steps that I think need to happen are as follows :-
1) Import the SSL Certificate and Key & Configure the SSL Profile
2) Create / Configure the Server Pool with an address / service port / Round Robin
3) Create a virtual server with a service port and add the SSL Profile with destination address and service port
I am new to Big-IP and I have a lot to learn :-)
Thanks in advance for anyone giving me a direction to look at !
