NimbostratusHTTP VS to accept and redirect SSH request to SSH VS
Hi All,
I have a VS with open port service for HTTP request, which I also want it to accept SSH request but will redirect the traffic to another VS with SSH service. Is this possible using iRule...

NimbostratusDear Nathan,
Thanks for the quick response. I applied the iRule, it does the redirection of the request to the SSH VS, but it's still cannot establish connection. Please note that I use secure CRT to connect using SSH, if I connect directly to the SSH VS it works. But if I connect via the HTTP VS it wont (even w/ this redirection). The thing is the users will use the same DNS name to connect both VS's (which is the IP of HTTP VS). I could have asked them to use different IP but they could not do it as the DNS name is already embedded in their application. And they use same name for both URL (browser) and SSH application.
Any other suggestion please?
Really appreciated your help.

Hmm, not too sure on that. Two things I'd try: change the irule to go direct to a node, rather than VS, and see if that works (irule line would be node x.x.x.x 22). Secondly I'd do a tcpdump on the f5 to see if this gives you any clues (prob need to do ssldump)- Ramil_Ancajas_1Hi Nathan, Thanks for your support. I think I figured out a soultion to this request. I simply assigned same IP on the SSH VS and removed the iRule on the HTTP VS and it works fine. Thanks a lot for your support really grateful for that. Regards,
