Questions regarding a 'WildCard Virtual Server'

if bigip's default route is firewall, ip forwarding virtual server will work fine.

 

however, if there is no default route on bigip or you want to specific gateway for traffic (e.g. there are a number of gateway available), you may use standard or performance layer 4 virtual server.

 

this is standard virtual server.

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b virtual vs_Wildcard_Forwarding list

 

virtual vs_Wildcard_Forwarding {

 

snat automap

 

pool gateway

 

destination any:any

 

mask 0.0.0.0

 

ip protocol 6

 

}

 

and this is performance layer 4 virtual server.

 

[root@ve1023:Active] config b virtual vs_Wildcard_Forwarding list

 

virtual vs_Wildcard_Forwarding {

 

snat automap

 

pool gateway

 

destination any:any

 

mask 0.0.0.0

 

}
