Virtual server protocol is configured as All protocols. So this iRule is giving the appropriate error.

In virtual server' Protocol setting change All to tcp and then apply the same iRule. Make sure your F5 software version is >=11.6 as TCP::idletime is introduced in 11.6

If you need to create UDP forwarding vs also, you can create the same virtual server with protocol as udp.

After modifying the protocol VS configuration will look like this

ltm virtual forwarding_virtual {
destination 0.0.0.0:any
ip-forward
ip-protocol tcp
mask any
profiles {
    forwarding_fastL4 { }
}
source 0.0.0.0/0
translate-address disabled
translate-port disabled

I dont think that it does matter if I use protocol as tcp/udp or any. I wont be able to apply iRULE as it requires a tcp profile and when we create forwarding VS then it uses fastl4 profile.

 

I can create forwarding virtual for single port like below and change the tcp timeout vlaue to indefinite. But problem is I have multiple range of ports and I dont want to create that many forwarding VS.

 

0.0.0.0/0:1521
