How can I pass non-standard ports along with 443?

I am proxying an internal server using SSL, and that works fine. However, the application also requires other non-standard ports such as 9100, 9105 and others. Those ports do not appear to be making the trip. I can access those ports directly from inside the network, but external users are not able to. How do I allow those ports access through the F5?

    Hello Ken Barnes,

     

    You have to choices:

     

    1. Create a VS for each port pointing to the same pool
    2. Change your port number to 0 (*All Ports)

    Considerations:

     

    • The first option has complexity in case you have to persist the communication to the same node.
    • The second options requires you to filter the rest of ports using an iRule (REF - https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K6018)

    KR, Dario.
