Create a listener
for bi-directional traffic
You create a virtual server when you want the
BIG-IP system to listen for client-side and server-side ingress traffic at Layer 2,
without performing any packet modifications such as address translation.
- Log in to the BIG-IP Configuration utility using the system's management IP address.
- On the Main tab, click .If your BIG-IP system user account restricts you to using TMSH (TMOS Shell) only, skip this step.
- ClickCreate.
- In theNamefield, type a name, such asmy_virtual_wire_vs.
- From theTypelist, selectForwarding (Layer 2).
- In theDestination Addressfield, type the IP address in CIDR format. The supported format is address/prefix, where the prefix length is in bits. For example, an IPv4 address/prefix is10.0.0.1or10.0.0.0/24, and an IPv6 address/prefix isffe1::0020/64or2001:ed8:77b5:2:10:10:100:42/64. When you use an IPv4 address without specifying a prefix, the BIG-IP system automatically uses a /32 prefix.
- In theService Portfield, type a port number or select a service name from theService Portlist.
- From theVLAN and Tunnel Trafficlist, select the name of the virtual wire you previously created.
- ClickFinished.
