Can I configure different port on VIP and Real Servers with ACE20 module?

[codenamexe]

I'm using two Cisco ACE20 Modules with Catalyst 6504.

There are two real servers that runs three services -TCP 82, 83, 84- connected to ACE20. (I'll call real servers 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2)

And I'll assign Three different VIPs to each services - 3.3.3.3 for TCP 82, 4.4.4.4 for TCP 83, 5.5.5.5 for TCP 84.

In this case, can I config my ACE20 as following configs?

VIP 3.3.3.3:80

     RIP 1.1.1.1:82

     RIP 2.2.2.2:82

VIP 4.4.4.4:80

     RIP 1.1.1.1:83

     RIP 2.2.2.2:83

VIP 5.5.5.5:80

     RIP 1.1.1.1:84

     RIP 2.2.2.2:84

p.s. My ACE20's 'sh ver ' result is here:

Software

  loader:    Version 12.2[123]

  system:    Version A2(2.4) [build 3.0(0)A2(2.4)]

  system image file: [LCP] disk0:c6ace-t1k9-mz.A2_2_4.bin

Hi Jinuk,

Yes you can do that.

You just need to define the server port for rserver  in the serverfarm configuration.

rserver host SERVER_01

  ip address 192.168.1.11

  inservice

serverfarm host REAL_SERVERS

  probe TCP

  rserver SERVER_01 82

    inservice

Then  you can configure VIP for port 80 and once policy maps are configured the client request should hit the ACE on VIP on port 80 and once the ACE loadbalances the traffic it will send to the rserver on port 82.

Let me know if you have any questions.
