F5 LTM ANY VIP
I have a doubt related to F5 behaviour for a specific scenario.
For example: There is a set of servers hosting more than 400 services i.e. different TCP ports. and each service is unique. We are trying to avoid configuring 400+ VIPs on the F5 LTM. As far as monitoring of the services are concerend, server team decided a dedicated TCP port only for monitoring. And rest of the configuration is as below.
•Virtual Server configured to listen on any ports, along with an iRule to limit the traffic to specific range of TCP ports •Pool members are also configured to listen on any ports
My question is, since pool members are configured to listen on ANY ports, does LB load balancing decision takes the destination TCP port from the client-side connection and uses the same as destination TCP port in server-side connections in this scenario? If not, is there a way to achieve this.
