Nimbostratushow to configure inbound NAT?
Hello,
I would like to achieve the following:
do SSH on port 22 from an external host towards the Virtual Server IP of the F5.
F5 should translate the Virtual Server IP to an internal.

NimbostratusHello Nathan,
As a test I configured as you suggest a VS (port 22) with only one member in the pool. SSH works then fine.
What I ultimately would like to achieve is the following: ssh "VS-IP" -p 2201 -> ssh internal-node-1 ssh "VS-IP" -p 2202 -> ssh internal-node-2 ssh "VS-IP" -p 2203 -> ssh internal-node-3 ssh "VS-IP" -p 2204 -> ssh internal-node-4
So I need a mechanism to translate the port from 220x to 22 In the VS-config I see a field "port translation" (enabled by default). I can't find a clear description in the F5 docs what this parameter is actually doing.
