SSH/SFTP VIP on LTM

Dear Community,

I have a use case where I would like to terminate SSH/SFTP connection in the F5 and then have the F5 forward the File Xfer requests on to the backend pool members on SMB/445. I am having a very hard time finding documentation that describes how to set up an SSH/SFTP VIP, specifically where to configure credentials such as usernames/password/keys. Is this possible on the F5?

 

Thank you. 

  • it's surely technically possible but very unfeasable because of need to do ssh to smb conversion

    i suggest that you simply create ssh/sftp linux vm which mounts smb shares into some folders in the linux vm.

  • craddockchris - did you get this sorted out? If zamroni777 's answer was helpful please consider marking it as solution or adding your own solution to help others discover how to execute the same use-case. Thanks!
