Forti web IP with Multi port

[amih]

Hello,

I have Forti web and I want to put one address on it with more than one Port for the same address:

Server IP with port

10.0.0.1:6111

10.0.0.1:6112

Is it possible to set one virtual IP address for all port or set a virtual IP address for each port?

scenario 1:

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:6111  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6111

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:6112  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6112

scenario 2

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:6111  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6111

virtual IP 20.1.1.2:6112  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6112

Which scenario should be done?

Thanks

Hello @amih ,

Both can be applied.

In my opinion, the best one is the first one. Because you just use one public IP for that. Nowadays Public IPs are a valuable thing. Because of that, we don't want to waste it.

Hi

As Atlas said both are doable, but in my opinion I always find the third scenario better, using HTTP content routing, you still use one pub IP and your clients don't have to specify a port (especially if they are not familiar with ports).

scenario 3

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:443  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6111

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:443  ------ IP 10.0.0.1:6112

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:443  ------ IP 10.1.1.1:443

virtual IP 20.1.1.1:443  ------ IP 10.2.2.1:80

and so ...
