HTTP x-forward-for
Hi all,
I have configured the x-forward-for virtual server as below.
<vitual server>
type : standard
protocol : tcp
Source Address Translation : Automap
HTTP Profile : Added profile with 'Insert X-Forwarded-For' enabled
The symptoms are as follows.
1) Configure the service port of the virtual server to 80 or 8080.
- BIG-IP recognizes the port as http and adds the Client IP to the header.
2) Configure the service port of the virtual server to 11211.
- BIG-IP recognizes the port as TCP and does not operate X-forward-for.
I have a few questions.
Q1) For X-forward-for to operate, does the HTTP well-known(80,8080) port that BIG-IP knows must be configured as a service port?
Q2) Is there a way to make X-forward-for work by configuring unknown-port on the service port?
Q3) Are there any other service ports that F5 recognizes with HTTP other than 80,8080?
Thanks,
