Maybe i was not too clear.... I just want F5 for now to receive the requests and foward it to the backend server wich service is exposed.

 

 

Reading white papers again, I see that first of all I need to create a VLAN, but where do I make the mapping from F5 to my web server?

 

 

Let me see if I'm rigth. The virtual server to F5 is my web service server ? So how will it understant that i want that especific request to be forward to it ?

 

 

Here is the senario:

 

I have a web service endpoint... lets suppose that it is like: http://192.168.14.129:8002/myservice

 

I don't want clients acessing it directly... So i would like to "virtualize" it... the goal is I want the client sending the request to F5 in another IP and Port and F5 fowarding it to the real web service endpoint.

 

 

I think it is not very hard to do but as I'm newbie at F5 modules, I'm taking a beating trying to do it. Getting back to vlans.... which are the best pratices now a days? I think that is possible to acomplish my goal with just one vlan but what do you guys advise me?

 

 

PS: I'm using smith Big IP Virtual Edition.

 

 

Thanks again.
