/config/app/proxy/forwardProxy//serviceType

Use

Set the service type to HTTP or TCP.

HTTP

Configure HTTP as the service type for the forward proxy.

Use

Sets the forward proxy to be an HTTP proxy, operating at layer 7. You must use this service type to enable scripts to interact with HTTP requests and responses.

TCP

Configure TCP as the service type for the forward proxy. The system does load balancing of TCP connections without processing the TCP payload.

Use

Sets the forward proxy to be a TCP proxy, operating at layer 4. Use this service type for non-HTTP protocols, such as SMTP email, or if you do not want the F5® LineRate® to interact with HTTP requests and responses. Use this service type to forward HTTPS traffic from the clients to the back-end servers. In this case, only attach a virtual IP that does not have an SSL profile attached to it.

Parameters

name: Name of forward proxy object

Data Key

The data key contains one of the values defined below in Data Values.

Note: When the default key is set to true, it means the object is set to its default. In this case, the system works as follows:

  • On a PUT operation, the system ignores the data key. (Applicable only to /config nodes.)
  • On a GET operation, the response only contains “default”: True and does not contain the data key.
  • If the object has a base, it inherits its setting from its base.

See [Setting Objects to Their Default](https://docs.lineratesystems.com/087Rel ease_2.6/250REST_API_Reference_Guide/000Getting_Started_with_the_REST_API/300U nderstanding_the_REST_Hierarchy#Setting_Objects_to_Their_Default_(Default_Key) ).

Data Type

uint32

Data Values

0 (HTTP default)

1 (HTTP user configured)

2 (TCP)

Default Data Value

0

An object uses the default data value when one of the following is true:

  • For objects without bases–When the object’s default key is true.
  • For objects with bases–When the object’s default key is true, and when the default key is true for all of the object’s bases.

Default Allowed

True
