Hello,

 

I think you are confusing with the Port Lock Down.

 

This feature is applied on listenning ports for each self ip.

 

By definition the "Port lockdown is a BIG-IP security feature that allows you to specify particular protocols and services from which the self IP address defined on the BIG-IP system can accept traffic"

 

When you send syslog, the self-ip connects to the remote server on port 514 UDP.

 

Reference : https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K17333

 

Hope it helps

 

Regards
