Need to test F5 setup

Port in virtual server option in F5 is Set to any port. Pool members are set to port any as well. Could anyone advise how to test the setup on f5 using curl command. Thanks!

Thanks Dario, but in my case the virtual port is set to * ie any.

In this case what command should I use to test connection. ​

Hello Samit.

You cannot test all services in 'any' port at the same time.

As much as you can do is to verify that TCP handshake is established in a range of ports.

seq <initial_port> <final_port> | xargs -I {} nc -vz -w1 <backend_ip> {}

UDP is stateless connection, so you cannot verify it with total garanties.

KR,

Dario.
