Highly appreciate your guidance and thanks much for informing me about vWire feature for L2 DDOS Setup.

Additonal inquiry only.

Do we still need to setup a FW policy? And in what context do you recommend to apply the FW policy?

Thanks in advance.

I can't tell you if you need AFM policy as this is something that you need to be aware of as admin of the network environment if you need not only DOS protection but also security rules.

 

The AFM policy is usually global for such deployments but if you do not have good knowedge in AFM  and rSeries better involve F5 PS as you are risking to much as the Devcentral community that F5 professionals are helping each other for some basic or complex questions can't replace training or a PS consultant.
