Translate port for all return traffic to client

I have a situation where a client device will come into a VIP on UDP port 9010. However, do to the restrictive nature of the clients network, the return traffic also needs to be sent on UDP 9010. All traffic is UDP and therefore stateless.

 

 

Is there a way to translate the outgoing port back to the client to UDP 9010 instead of it's ephemeral port that it was received on?

 

 

 

Not sure if an iRule or possibly an outgoing forward VS is the answer.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mike

    Hi Mike,

     

     

    In v10.1+ you might be able to use High Speed Logging over UDP to spoof the reply back to an arbitrary IP:port. I don't think you could do this with UDP::respond or other UDP:: commands.
