Feb 05, 2018Forwarding virtual servers are used when you need you big-ip to route traffic as router would do (more or less). The configuration is simple, the destination is actually the final destination of the traffic. When an IP packet hits the VS, if the destination match, the big-ip will forward the traffic based on the information of its route table. Here there is no load balanced whatsoever, no IP destination IP change, just routing. It still has some peculiarities by default, for example is still statefull, only allowed flows can go through.
