Creating a TCP proxy service

A TCP proxy service uses a TCP connection to forward all traffic from a local address to a remote peer.

1. In the search field, enter tcp.
2. From the search results, click TCP proxy service.
3. Click Add.
4. Define the basic properties - Name, administrative state, and comments.
5. In the Local address, specify the host alias or the IP address that the service listens on. Host aliases can ease migration tasks among appliances. If the local address is 0.0.0.0, the service binds to all local interfaces.
6. In the Local port field, specify the port that the service monitors.
7. From the Service priority list, specify the priority for scheduling or resource allocation. When system resources are in high demand, higher priority services are favored.
8. In the Remote host field, specify the hostname or IP address of the remote host to send TCP traffic.
9. In the Remote port field, specify the port on the remote host.
10. In the Idle timeout field, specify the maximum idle time in seconds to allow for client and server connections. After the time elapses, the idle connection is terminated. Enter a value in the range 0 - 86400. The default value is 360. A value of 0 disables the idle timer.
11. Click Apply to save changes to the running configuration.
12. Click Save to save changes to the persisted configuration.
