Usage cases for 'forwarding ip virtual server' / 'Forwarding (Layer 2)' virtual server

Hi all,

 

Studying for TMOS Administration. So forgive my ignorance :). When would you use 'forwarding ip virtual server' / 'Forwarding (Layer 2)' virtual server. I found how you can configure it but didn't find why.

 

Thanx Jaap

    the F5 LTM is a default deny device, you can use forwarding virtual server to allow traffic to pass through just like a normal router.
