How can I open ports on Load Balaner ?

I want to open ports on my load balancer so how can I achieve it? Just need to open the ports using tmsh commands or using GUI if possible. And also how can I check whether which ports are open, which are occupied etc etc?

 

Thanks

  • not sure I understand your question, for what do you want to open a port?

     

    on the whole virtual servers "open ports" on a big-ip. so if you check that list you see what is listening currently.

     

  • could you rephrase your comment? it don't quite understand what you want to do. in general you create a virtual server on a certain IP and then you can configure for that virtual server which port to listen on. if you need multiple ports you can create multiple virtual servers or listen to any port.

     

    also looking on your questions it feels you are pretty new with F5 BIG-IP and do some complex things. perhaps a training would be useful, F5 offers them, but so do F5 partners and perhaps even internally at your company something is possible.
