Can anyone provide insight on the appropriate BIG-IP LTM 10.1 configuration to get an SAPRouter tunnel working?

Craig, can you provide some more detail on what you are trying to achieve please? Will the tunnel just pass through or are you load balancing etc.?
Craig_Benson_13The tunnel would pass through the LTM, and be directed to an internal host running the SAP Router software. There would be no load-balancing. We don't want to put the SAP Router in the DMZ, and would rather have the external party (SAP in this case) use the LTM as the gateway since the LTM is already in the DMZ.
Ta,
Craig
- What_Lies_Bene1OK, so you just need to 'route' the traffic through but using a VS IP on the F5 rather than the real IP on the internal host?

Yep.

OK, so this should just require a pool with the member being the SAP host and a Performance L4 Virtual Server listening on the relevant service port. Some custom profile tweaks might be required if this is a long lived connection, is it?
Of course, I'm assuming the tunnel is IP based. Do you have any technical detail on protocols and service ports etc.
