NimbostratusLinerate UDP virtual servers.
Hello Jeremy. The LineRate system does not support UDP Virtual Servers, just like you noticed. It looks like you found the information about UDP in our docs, but here's the link to it just in case:
https://docs.lineratesystems.com/093Release_2.5.2/100Getting_Started_Guide/100LineRate_OverviewUDP
It is possible to pass UDP traffic through the device, too, but this behavior is more like a router rather than a load balancer:

Jeremy_Horn_186Hi Andrew, Thank you for verifying what i thought.. I will be looking into other resources for my clients request. I would hope F5 offers a virtual LB product that would support UDP virtual servers just need to research what that may be. Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question. Jeremy- Not a problem, Jeremy. Depending on what you are trying to do, BIG-IP LTM may be a useful solution for you. Here is some information on BIG-IP Virtual Servers: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/100/sol14163.html?sr=47678006 https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm-basics-11-6-0/2.htmlreferenceid
