Migrating the Cisco FWSM to F5 AFM
Hi All, I am planning to migrate from cisco FWSM to F5 AFM. In Cisco FWSM we have Vlan interfaces and apply rules for the traffic passing through those interfaces. In the F5 AFM i thought i have to options to use to migrate Virtual servers and Self IPs. But F5 AFM is not like other firewalls, self ip's effect traffic destined to the box, not the pass through traffic. So i have to use virtual servers to moderate traffic. In my case i have DMZ area which has bunch of different servers which needs to talk to internal servers or users. I am not doing any load balancing at all here, so i am using forwarding ip type Virtual servers. However with the amount of destination objects i have in my environment, i have to create huge number of virtual servers and apply rules to each and every VS which is going to be very tedious.
Can someone please give some suggestions on best way to implement this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
