cmcnicholas I feel that you have some information missing in your question. Typically if traffic between devices traverses an F5 and isn't load balanced you would have a forwarding virtual server that forwards all traffic excluding other virtual servers that the F5 has configured for load balancing traffic to a specific destination IP. You should not have to check any ports that are allowed because that forward virtual server is a catchall that forwards everything that hits it.
