Setup F5 as Outbound Proxy

I need to replace the Apache server with F5 Big IP.

 

I know that the Apache Server's Local IP will now become a virtual Server on Big IP (especially as it has been configured for outbound traffic on the Firewall).

 

How do I configure this to work?

 

-------------------------------------------

 

is it explicit web proxy? if so, is http forward proxy irule usable?

 

 

Well, I just need it to handle outbound traffic. I shall investigate the irule using the URL below.

The IP of this server is configured to connect to these entities on the firewall.

 

I need to make this server get proxied by F5 and also have all the services work normally by pushing traffic out via F5.

 

how is bigip deployed? can sever's default gateway be bigip?

 

 

I have a couple of VLANs, Big IP plugs into the core switch and has a leg in every VLAN. so any outbound permission for F5 must exist on my firewall. I tried making Big IP the default gateway and I couldn't reach it by RDP again . . .
