Firewall config for Skype for Business Reverse Proxy
- Jul 26, 2016
So when you have a split deployment as mentioned for reverse proxy traffic then big ip 1(DMZ) would receive traffic and forward to big ip 2 (internal, in front of FE servers) on the already translated port 4443. Big ip 2 will then pass that through to individual FE servers on the same 4443 port.
So the real answer to your question is between the two big ip's you should allow for 80, 8080, 443 and 4443 to ensure traffic processing.

The return path will be the same (dmz self ip to internal vip). Snat auto map is applied on the DMZ vip for reverse proxy traffic, so internal reverse proxy vip sees traffic as sourced from dmz big ip self ip (as you stated).
