Using Public IPs as a self, external and VS IPs
- Dec 14, 2022
I think ARP is enabled by default.
If you use Public IP's and no firewalls probably you will need to make sure you restrict things as much as possible.
Like :
- make sure the self ip's port lockdonwn. "allow none"
- enable the vips only on the vlan with the public subnets
- use packet filters if you know the traffic only comes from specific sites/ip's
- make sure you use the latest version of F5 os
