Redirect from PORT 8888 TO 80

Hi All,   Help me clear up something. So, in the examples posted, if I have a user who has to utilize port 8888 but wants it redirected to port 80, would it be easier to just change the VIP to 80 ...

Shaun,

 

You are correct --web traffic currently being used on a legacy server port 8888 that is scheduled to be decommissioned soon, so idea was/is t use F5 to traverse this traffic. I built a new server/node with specified pool to get all traffic from legacy to new node. Currently both pool and VIP are set up for ports 8888. To me, it makes sense to use VIP (easier) port translation 80 rather than 8888 and let VIP do it's job.
