Hi all,
What port should I use for a Virtual fronting an SMB filesystem?
Is it 137 ? (will try all 4 possibilities (137,138,139,445) in an hour after some meetings, but thought I'd leave this easy question here while away)
BTW, searched ask.f5 and devcentral and although have seen people have done this, did not see the port for the virtual.
Thanks in advance

Jason: think it's 445, at least without the NetBIOS stuff. By the way, you may want to have a good look at customizing some tcp profiles for this traffic, particularly the timeouts.
HTH,

Jason_KeatingThanks Matt, you are right. I will have a look at the profiles too.
