Dummy TCP Server Inside F5 Using iRule?
We have an application need to take TCP client data and "mirror" it to UDP and send that data to a different destination and port. I have gotten this to work with a sideband UDP send inside an iRule.
Now, I want to deprecate the TCP server the client was talking to, but I don't want to TCP client to break.
The current TCP application is a one way IP to serial converter, so the TCP server only sends back an "OK" to the client. The client sends over IP serial data to send out over a serial port. It's a send only serial port.
I just need to keep a "dummy" TCP server alive so the client will continue to work. Is it possible to instantiate a "dummy" TCP listener inside an iRule and have it just send back "OK" to each client send?
Thank you, Damon
