Remote Desktop acces to servers behind F5 Big-IP

Hi,

 

 

I am looking for a way to connect to servers individually using Remote Desktop.

 

For now I tried some iRules but non of them worked.

 

How can I do redirection based on the protocol ?

 

 

Thank you

 

 

Ivan

    Hi Ivan,

     

     

    Take a look at SOL7229 (Click here) for a few different methods for allowing admin access to servers behind a BIG-IP. The first option of creating one virtual server per RDP server is probably the cleanest option. If you don't have a lot of spare IP's, you could use one virtual IP with multiple virtual servers each configured on their own port. Make sure to enable port translation on the virtual server as the VIPs won't all be configured on the same port the server is listening on. You would also have to specify the non-default port when connecting with an RDP client.
