ACE - Multiple ports on one VIP

[tmcmurray]

Is it possible to load balance requests for two different ports on one VIP?  For example, if I get a request for 10.10.1.100:80 and 10.10.1.100:443 is it possible to have them load balanced to the same servers without using different VIP addresses?

If you just want to loadbalance at layer 3 or 4 (no inspection, or proxy behavior, or ssl termination) this can be done .

class-map match-any MyVips
  match virtual x.x.x.x tcp eq 80

  match virtual x.x.x.x tcp eq 443

With this class-map you will match both ports in one shot.

Just make sure you do not specify any port in the serverfarm definition so that ACE can use the appropriate port when going to the backend server.

yes you can, match based on tcp port you want 80/443 and send it to the servers
