I'm wondering how such a newly created wildcard VS with settings listed below will affect our existing Virtual Servers that were created with BigIP as a Reverse-Proxy with All VLANs and Tunnuels for "VLAN and Tunnel Traffic"?

  • Type: Forwarding (IP)
  • Source Address: 0.0.0.0/0
  • Destination Address: 0.0.0.0/0
  • Protocol: *All Protocols

  • Protocol Profile: demo_fastl4
  • VLAN and Tunnel Traffic: Enabled on...DemoTunnel
  • Source Address Translation: Auto Map
