Creating a custom HTTP profile

This procedure should be performed only if SNAT or Auto Map is used for Source Address Translation in the virtual server.

An HTTP profile defines the way that you want the BIG-IP system to manage HTTP traffic.

  1. On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Profiles > Services > HTTP.

    The HTTP profile list screen opens.

  2. Click Create.

    The New HTTP Profile screen opens.

  3. In the Name field, type a unique name for the profile.

  4. Select the Custom check box.

  5. In the Insert X-Forwarded-For field, select Enabled.

  6. Click Finished.

The custom HTTP profile now appears in the HTTP profile list screen.
