SSH/SFTP VIP on LTM

Dear Community,

I have a use case where I would like to terminate SSH/SFTP connection in the F5 and then have the F5 forward the File Xfer requests on to the backend pool members on SMB/445. I am having a very hard time finding documentation that describes how to set up an SSH/SFTP VIP, specifically where to configure credentials such as usernames/password/keys. Is this possible on the F5?

 

Thank you.

    it's surely technically possible but very unfeasable because of need to do ssh to smb conversion

    i suggest that you simply create ssh/sftp linux vm which mounts smb shares into some folders in the linux vm.
