IP forwarding VIP

Hello,

 

 

I have a question regarding a small difference in a virtual configuration between version 9.4 and 10.2.

 

 

 

We have a wildcard VIP that is using the fastl4 profile. We recently upgraded and I was curious as to what this difference means. What is specified by the 'all' variable?

 

 

 

OLD:

 

virtual ip_forwarding {

 

 

 

profiles fastL4

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

NEW:

 

virtual ip_forwarding {

 

 

 

profiles fastL4 {

 

all

 

}

 

 

 

}

 

 

config
design

    Hi Bob,

    I assume the virtual server still passed traffic that way. I haven't seen that 'all\ property before for a FastL4 VS. For most virtual server types, you can specify some profiles apply to clientside or serverside connections. However, with a forwarding VS, there isn't an option for serverside as LTM isn't brokering two separate connections.

    I added that virtual definition to a test LTM and loaded the config. The running config shows a more standard syntax: 

    
 b virtual ip_forwarding list
virtual ip_forwarding {
   destination any:any
   mask 0.0.0.0
   vlans external enable
}

    And after saving the config back to file, it's written that typical way as well. So I think this is just cosmetic.
