using LTM VE as Firewall
hi I want to ask, is there any way to use LTM VE as Firewall? or if it cannot how to make BIG-IP as firewall?
- HamishCirrocumulusIn theory, yes... You have packetfilters available. And they can be configured from the GUI or the command line.
- Fiko_29923NimbostratusOK, if I have some case like this :
- HamishCirrocumulusAs a forward proxy you mean?
- Fiko_29923Nimbostratusso that one working as forward proxy?
- Gortguy_105156NimbostratusI'm reticent to glom onto someone else's issue, but I have a similar question: Can you use an iRule to drop traffic for which there isn't a service configured? For example, configuring a VIP to drop inbound ICMP.

- Fiko_29923Nimbostratusbtw what is the configuration of virtual server to make this work?
- HamishCirrocumulusThat depends on exactly how your architecture is arranged. If the servers are sitting on a directly attached VLAN, then yes... If it's via a router, then probably not (Although technically uou could still, I personally wouldn't because it makes the config that much harder to understand... But YMMV).
- Fiko_29923NimbostratusHere's the architecture which will be applied
