Policy to forward to a range of ports

Good day,

We require a configuration that sends as an example ports 7001 - 7999 to a pool of backends servers.

The idea is to create a wildcard VIP (client ssl) and pool. Allow only those ports to connect to the VIP and load balance to the backend servers with the port it connected on.

How would we be able to go about creating a policy to achive this configuration?

Thanks for helping

    Hi Chause1,

    as an alternative you could use a Port List. Simply create on in Shared Objects ›› Port Lists.

    And assign it to the virtual server.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response.

    I will test, I would like to deny the rest of the ports within the same policy. 

    When I apply the following it seems to stop working

        Thanks,

        Would a client SSL profile have any influance on the traffic?

        We receive traffic encypted and need to decrypt to backends. I think this is causing my headace at the moment
