PEM::ForwardingEndpoint¶
Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.4.0
You can use the forwarding endpoint interface to configure forwarding
endpoint definitions for the Policy Enforcement Manager. A forwarding
endpoint represents the final destination of the traffic flow. The
endpoint will always point to a single pool; it optionally points to a
single SNAT pool and/or a single LSN pool. According to source-ip or
destination-ip, the subsequent traffic can be directed to the same
pool member, which is called persistence. The persistence feature can
be disabled. Note: Before you can create a forwarding endpoint you
must create a valid pool with at least one member.
Methods¶
| Method | Description | Introduced |
| create | Creates a set of PEM forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| delete_all_forwarding_endpoints | Deletes all user defined forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| delete_forwarding_endpoint | Deletes the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_forwarding_endpoint_type | Gets the forwarding endpoint types for the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.5.0 |
| get_list | Gets a list of all forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_lsn_pool | Gets the LSN pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_persistence_type | Gets the persistence types of the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_pool | Gets the pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_snat_pool | Gets the SNAT pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_source_port_behavior | Gets the source port behaviors of the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_translate_address_state | Gets the translate address states of the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_translate_service_state | Gets the translate service states of the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| get_version | Gets the version information for this interface. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_forwarding_endpoint_type | Sets the forwarding endpoint types for the specified forwarding endpoints. When an endpoint is defined, flow is forwarded to the member in pool associated with the endpoint. If an endpoint is transparent then the proxy is not supposed to modify the flow contents. If an endpoint is non-transparent then proxy can modify the flow contents. | BIG-IP_v11.5.0 |
| set_lsn_pool | Sets the LSN pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. An LSN pool specifies the name of an existing LSN pool to which the forwarding endpoint will automatically forward traffic. The default value is empty string (no pool). | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_persistence_type | Sets the persistence types of the specified forwarding endpoints which specifies whether traffic persists with pool members. If you want specific traffic to go to the same pool member, set the persistence type to source or destination IP address. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_pool | Sets the pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. The forwarding endpoint will always point to a single pool. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_snat_pool | Sets the SNAT pools for the specified forwarding endpoints. A SNAT pool specifies the name of an existing SNAT pool used for translating the client ip address to the self-ip address of the BIG-IP system. The default value is empty string (no pool). | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_source_port_behavior | Sets the source port behaviors of the specified forwarding endpoints. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_translate_address_state | Sets the translate address states of the specified forwarding endpoints. A translate address specifies, when enabled, that the system translates the original destination address of the virtual server. The default value is disabled. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
| set_translate_service_state | Sets the translate service states of the specified forwarding endpoints. A translate service specifies, when enabled, that the system translates the original destination port. The default value is disabled. | BIG-IP_v11.4.0 |
Enumerations¶
| Enumeration | Description |
| ForwardingEndpointType | Specifies the type for the endpoint. When an endpoint is defined, flow is forwarded to the member in pool associated with the endpoint. If an endpoint is transparent then the proxy is not supposed to modify the flow contents. If an endpoint is non-transparent then proxy can modify the flow contents. |
Aliases¶
| Alias | Type | Description |
| ForwardingEndpointTypeSequence | ForwardingEndpointType [] | A sequence of forwarding endpoint types. |
| ForwardingEndpointTypeSequenceSequence | ForwardingEndpointType [] [] | A sequence of sequence of forwarding endpoint types. |
| ForwardingEndpointTypeSequenceSequenceSequence | ForwardingEndpointType [] [] [] | A sequence of sequence of sequence of forwarding endpoint types. |
