Hi @senjva,

Have you tried to do it via AS3?
https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/refguide/schema-reference.html#service-forwarding

Few AS3 declaration examples:

I've never heard of AS3 but I'm not a heavy user of BigIP, it seems a bit complex than the Terraform provider

I have all my BigIP configuration on Terraform and I want to create a forwarding VS like I can create others VS (fastL4, standard etc..)

Do you mean using https://registry.terraform.io/providers/F5Networks/bigip/latest/docs/resources/bigip_as3 ?

Hi @senjva

Yes using AS3 resource with AS3 declaration.

It seems overkill (install package on bigip & more complex integration, not created like our others virtualservers)

The possibility to add "ip-forward" (the difference in config file vs a forwarding and a standard vs) don't seems to be a big deal.

Hi @senjva,

I understand your point of view but we are focus on F5OS and BIG-IP Next so we will review it and monitor this RFE.
