Enabling Port on load balancer

Hi All, There is a scenario in our environment. Please help me if it can be achieved via Load Balancer (LTM).

 

External users use 161.172.96.143 to access some servers. Since we are moving to SSO we need port 8181 to be opened when accessing 161.172.96.143. Ports need to open : 8181 for 161.172.96.143.

 

Thanks in advance, Vijay Rai

    Vijay,

     

    Port opened? Theh BIGIP, while it denies traffic by default, is not a firewall and this sounds like a firewall question. It will pass traffic but saying you want a port opened provides no information of the kind of data you want passed through to the backend.

    Since this a public IP, there is also the ability to use a packet filters to limit what you want accessed or denied. Not sure if this is what your alluding to.
